Braves side to face Wasps

By Mark Stevens

Exeter Braves are in Aviva Premiership A League action again this evening when they play host to London Wasps at Sandy Park (7.30pm).

Having kicked off their season with a 39-30 loss at home to Saracens a week ago, the Braves will be looking to hit back at the first attempt against a Wasps line-up, who themselves were defeated 36-16 away to Bath.

Coaches Rob Hunter and Ricky Pellow have again named a powerful line-up, which will again be skippered by fly-half Ceri Sweeney. The Welsh international will be joined in a back division which will include South Sea Islanders Fetu'u Vainikolo and Sireli Naqelevuki, as well as first-team stars Henry Slade, Jack Arnott, Matt Jess and Will Chudley.

Up front, Alex Brown and Carl Rimmer will help to prop up youngster Alex Spurdle (pictured), whilst in the engine-room the imposing Will Carrick-Smith teams up with James Phillips.

Completing the pack is No.8 Kai Horstmann, together with back-row colleagues Rob Langley and Todd Lowry.

Season Ticket Holders, Gold Card and 1905 Members can enter the game for FREE as part of their seasonal package, admission for all others is £10 adults/students and £5 for Under-16s. Tickets can be purchased from the club office on the night.
