Braves side to face Bath

By Mark Stevens

Exeter Braves are in Aviva Premiership A League action again this evening as they travel to Bath United at the Recreation Ground (7:30pm).

Having kicked off their campaign with a narrow defeat at home to reigning champions Saracens Storm a week ago, the Devon club will be looking to bounce back at the first opportunity against their local rivals.

Coaches Ricky Pellow and Rob Hunter have again assembled a powerful looking line-up, which includes Rugby World Cup stars Chrysander Botha and Michele Campagnaro in the backline, as well as experienced names such as skipper Kai Horstmann, Ben White, Haydn Thomas, Byron McGuigan and Ollie Atkins.

Youth also gets it's chance with run-outs for Academy products such as Jack Innard, Jonny Hill and Sam Simmonds in the pack, while behind Max Bodilly forms the midfield partnership alongside former Rugby League convert Josh Jones.

For those unable to attend tonight's match, follow the action live via the official Exeter Chiefs Facebook and Twitter feeds. A full match report will be posted following the final whistle.
