Braves side to face Saracens

Exeter Braves kick-off their Aviva Premiership A League programme this evening when they play host to Saracens at Sandy Park (7.30pm).

Under the guidance of coaches Ricky Pellow and Rob Hunter, the Braves have selected a powerful line-up for their seasonal opener including summer signings Fetu'u Vainikolo and Ceri Sweeney.

The international duo are joined in the starting XV by Welsh tighthead Craig Mitchell, whilst other experienced names on duty include Kai Horstmann, Will Chudley and Sam Hill, the latter of whom made his Premiership debut for the club in Saturday's loss at Northampton Saints.

Saracens, meanwhile, are also able to field a strong squad with the likes of James Johnston, Mouritz Botha, Justin Melck, George Kruis and Nils Mordt lining up from the outset.

Season Ticket holders, 1905 and Gold Card members are reminded they can watch tonight's game for FREE as part of their seasonal package, whilst for all others the cost is £10 adults/students and £5 for Under-16s.
