Chiefs make two changes for Leicester clash

Rob Baxter has made two changes to his Exeter Chiefs matchday squad to take on Leicester Tigers at Mattioli Woods, Welford Road in the final round of the Gallagher Premiership this Saturday afternoon, May 18.

Chiefs travel to take on Dan McKellar’s men in a clash which will have important implications on the hopes of a top four spot for Baxter’s squad.

In the front row, Max Norey moves into the starting line-up for club-captain Jack Yeandle who took a knee knock in last weekend’s fixture. He starts alongside the experienced duo of Scott Sio and Marcus Street.

The second and back row from the Harlequins win remains intact as Jack Dunne partners captain Dafydd Jenkins in the boiler room. The confronting back row is formed by Ethan Roots, Jacques Vermeulen and Greg Fisilau.

Following a player of the match performances in Round 17, Harvey Skinner retains his place at fly half with Tom Cairns once more his scrum half while the newly re-signed Harvey Skinner pairs up with Joe Hawkins in the centre for a third consecutive week.

Having scored three tries between them last week, the back three is made up of Dan John, Olly Woodburn and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso.
