By Mark Stevens

Exeter Braves kick-off their Aviva Premiership A League campaign this evening when they play host to defending champions Saracens Storm at Sandy Park (7:30pm).

Ahead of kick-off, the Braves have named a powerful line-up that will be coached once again by Rob Hunter and Ricky Pellow.

Experienced No.8 Kai Horstmann skippers the side, which will include the likes of Brett Sturgess, Haydn Thomas, Byron McGuigan and Chrysander Botha. Also included are summer signings Shaun Malton, Harry Williams, Ollie Atkins, Will Hooley and Italian international Michele Campagnaro.

Season ticket holders, Corporate Box holders, 1905 and Gold Card members are all able to gain FREE entry to the game as part of their seasonal package, whilst for all others the cost will be £10 for adults and £5 for Children Under-16s and Students.

Parking is available on site at Sandy Park on a first come, first served basis. Supporters are reminded, however, that the pay and display machines will be in operation.
