Exeter Chiefs chief Rob Baxter makes six switches to his winning side for today’s 12,500-plus sell-out Premiership play-off semi-final against Wasps at Sandy Park 1515ko (ground open 1100).
Although victorious last time out at Harlequins - where the second placed Chiefs ran in 10 tries during a 62-24 May 7 final day triumph - head coach Baxter has made changes.
Up front, Ben Moon and Luke Cowan-Dickie come into the front-row; Geoff Parling replaces the injured Damian Welch (knee) at lock; while Don Armand has recovered from an elbow injury and is preferred at No.8 to Thomas Waldrom.
In the back division, Ian Whitten is given the nod at centre ahead of Sam Hill, while Olly Woodburn is also recalled at the expense of James Short, who drops to the bench.
