Exeter Braves will be looking to maintain their recent winning streak in this season's Aviva Premiership A League when they play host to Harlequins at Sandy Park tonight (7:30pm).

Having recorded successive away victories over Bath and Bristol, Ricky Pellow's side know they face a stern challenge against the Londonders, who have yet to taste defeat so far this season.

Tonight's visitors - who sit top of the Southern Group on 19 points - have so far seen off Wasps, Bath and Bristol.

Again, though, the third-placed Braves have named a powerful looking line-up, which will once more be headed up by experienced No.8 Kai Horstmann.

He is named in a home pack that also contains Scottish international Moray Low, who will start at loosehead, while behind highly-rated youngsters Jack Maunder and Joe Simmonds will spearhead the home attack at half-backs.

Behind them, there is plenty of experience and talent to call upon with Matt Jess and Byron McGuigan on the wings with Namibian international Chrysander Botha lining up at full-back.

Entry to the game is FREE for all season ticket and box holders, as well as 1905 and Gold card members. For all others, entry is £10 for adults and £5 for children/students.

Parking is available on site on a first come, first served basis, but please note that parking charges will be in operation.
