Newcastle Falcons face another week not knowing which league they will be playing in next season after London Welsh's appeal against the decision to block their promotion was delayed.

The case was originally scheduled for Thursday but it will now be heard on June 28 to "accommodate all parties".
Welsh won this season's RFU Championship after beating Cornish Pirates in both legs of the final.
But the Richmond-based club were told just hours before the first leg kicked off in Cornwall they did not meet minimum standards criteria set down by English rugby's Professional Game Board for entry to the Premiership.
The Exiles played the final's second leg at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford, which is thought to be their preferred venue should they gain top-flight status.
As things stand, Newcastle will remain in the Premiership next term despite finishing bottom by a point behind Wasps this season.
But should London Welsh succeed in overturning an original decision that went against them, then they will go up and the Falcons be relegated.
