Chiefs side to face Bath

"The message from us as coaches is that we let ourselves down on Sunday in terms of how we normally play, so we have a big opportunity in the next couple of games to really drive on," said Pellow. "To come back and get the draw was really pleasing, but after going through the game and analysing it, we came away a little disappointed with a few things.

"Looking at it this week, we weren't quite there in and around the breakdown - and it's been the same in the Champions Cup for us as well. Because we like to play multi-phase rugby, teams are going to attack us around the breakdown to try and slow us down. We've been perhaps guilty of taking our foot off the gas a little bit in terms of our ball placement and our fight on the floor. That said, we've talked a lot about that as a squad this week and hopefully we'll see a difference there at the weekend."

But whilst the breakdown was a concern for the Chiefs, other areas of the team continue to flourish and despite the introduction of a number of players into the ranks, the usual Exeter game plan was by and large impressive against the Falcons.

"Yes, there were one or two areas that we've had to work on this week, but there were also a lot of positives we could take from the game," added Pellow. "I thought we showed massive character to get back into the game last week, not just to force the draw, but in the end we could potentially have won the game at the end.

"For us it was good to see those senior guys - some of whom needed that game time - really come together with some of the younger academy players. I've no doubt the more they play together, the more consistency they will start to show in their performances. Yes, there were one or two teething problems, but what I liked was the way in which the senior guys really took hold of the group and drove the principles around attack and defence that we ask of the players."

"Bath are a quality side and they'll be tough at the weekend," warned Pellow. "We've looked at them this week, but the majority of our focus has been on ourselves and making sure we get our game plan into place. Right now there's not too much pressure on us, but come the game itself I am sure that will change a little bit.

"We've got two big home games coming up now in this competition and we have to make the most of them. We have talked about being back-to-back champions and just how we can go about doing that. Not many sides have backed up a win in this competition with a win afterwards. It is a massive challenge for the club and the players and one I know they are excited about - it is exciting to be involved in it.

"We talk about how we approach each game, so if we approach this one in the right way then we will be in prime position to push on from there."

Ahead of kick-off, the Chiefs have tinkered with their line-up from a week ago. In the pack, Jack Innard, Sean Lonsdale and James Freeman are all brought into the fray, while behind the back division is boosted by the inclusion of former Bath favourite Ollie Devoto, as well as Jack Maunder, James Short and Joe Simmonds.

Injuries to Olly Woodburn (hamstring) and Toby Salmon (foot) mean they miss out this weekend, but on the bench the sight of Wales and British Lions winger Alex Cuthbert returning is another boost for the home side.
