Exeter Chiefs have been forced to make a late change to their starting line-up ahead of today's Aviva Premiership clash with Gloucester at Sandy Park (3pm).

Tongan international winger Fetu'u Vainikolo failed a late fitness check on a hamstring injury this morning and will now be replaced on the left wing by Welshman Tom James.

The remainder of the Exeter match-day squad remains unchanged.
