There are no less than six changes to the Glaws line-up for what is looking like a very tasty West Country encounter at Kingsholm against a much improved Chiefs This week the game is on a Sunday and the kick off is at 2.00 - another disruption to one's rugby body clock ... ...
James Hudson makes his league for us in the second row and there are also changes in the front row with props Yann Thomas and Rupert Harden coming off last week's bench.
In the backs it's Knoyle's turn to start at 9 while there's an enforced change in the centre where Mike Tindall replaces the injured Henry Trinder. The final change is at full back where Rob Cook is replaced by Martyn Thomas.
Glaws: Martyn Thomas, Charlie Sharples, Mike Tindall, Billy Twelvetrees, James Simpson-Daniel, Freddie Burns, Tavis Knoyle, Yann Thomas, Darren Dawidiuk, Rupert Harden, Tom Savage (c), James Hudson, Sione Kalamafoni, Matt Kvesic, Ben Morgan. Bench:Jonny May, Huia Edmonds, Dan Murphy, Akapusi Qera, Shaun Knight, Elliott Stooke, Gareth Evans, Dan Robson.
These games are always tight . In six league meetrings it's all square but Exeter have only won once at our place - 28-27 in March last year.
They also make a number of changes including the inclusion of former Kingsholm scrum half Dave Lewis who is making his first start.
The other changes in clude Ben White and Chris Whitehead startinbg in the forwardshe pack in place of Jack Yeandle and James Scaysbrook. Matt Jess will be on the right wing with Ian Whitten partnering Sam Hill in the centre.
Chiefs: Dollman, Jess, Whitten, Hill, James, Steenson, Lewis, Sturgess, Whitehead, Tui, Mumm (c), Welch, Johnson, White, Ewers. Bench: Slade, Thomas, Yeandle, Moon, Rimmer, Armand, Horstmann, Vainikolo
