Match preview London Welsh v Exeter Chiefs

It's back to League action for the Exeter Chiefs who visit London Welsh on Saturday. The Chiefs will be looking to build on their attacking display in the last League game (against the Cornish Pirates) and the stubborn defence against Coventry in the cup.

Match Preview

London Welsh

v

Exeter Chiefs

Saturday Feb. 9th Old Deer Park

Saturday sees Exeter Chiefs travel to Old Deer Park for the latest league match between the two sides.  There have been some close encounters but last time out the Chiefs ran in seven tries, winning 53 - 3.  This is not a typical outcome, although I was at Old Deer Park when the Chiefs put 60+ points on the Welsh in a cup game.  Whilst it would be nice to see this sort of result, the Chiefs will be happy to come away with a 5 point winning bonus, no matter what the score.

The Chiefs field a strong side with the usual rotation in the scrum and Tony Yapp continuing at 10.  It's good to see Tony Walker back after injury:-

15 Sean Marsden

16 Simon Jenkins
17 Shane Kingsland
18 Chris Bentley
19 Tony Walker
20 Stephen Ward
21 Joe Horn-Smith
22 Mark Fatialofa
