Exeter Braves entertain Harlequins in their final Aviva Premiership A League Southern Group fixture at Sandy Park this evening (7.30pm).

Following victories over London Wasps, London Irish and Bath, the Braves know success this evening over the Londoners will all but guarantee them a spot in the semi-finals of the competition.

Once again, Exeter coaches Ricky Pellow and Rob Hunter have assembled a strong line-up for the game, which will include a first outing in club colours for New Zealander Romana Graham (pictured).

The summer signing from the Chiefs is one of a number of experienced names in the Braves side, which will again be skippered by fly-half and Welsh international Ceri Sweeney.

Others set to start include international aces Fetu'u Vainikolo and Sireli Naqelevuki in the back division, whilst up front Greg Bateman, Don Armand and James Phillips will offer some sizeable force through the pack.

Season Ticket Holders, 1905 and Gold Card members can watch the game for FREE as part of their seasonal packages - admission for adults and students is £10, Under-16s £5
