Exeter Chiefs 2013-14 pre-season warm-up has a tri nations feel with matches against Welsh side Scarlets, Westcountry rivals Bristol and first-time visitors Glasgow.
Chiefs head to Llanelli to play RaboDirect PRO 12 side Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets on Saturday August 17 (1500).
It will mark the third time the two sides have met in pre-season in recent years - and comes after they faced one another in this season's Heineken Cup. Exeter won on both occasions, 22-16 in Wales, 30-20 at Sandy Park a week later.
Chiefs host Championship outfit Bristol Rugby on Saturday August 24 (Sandy Park, 1500).
Bristol have not tackled Exeter since the 2010 Championship play-off finals. Under the stewardship of former England and Scotland coach Andy Robinson, ambitious Bristol have recruited strongly for next season.
Exeter's final pre-season game will see Gregor Townsend's Glasgow Warriors make a first appearance at Sandy Park on August 31 (1500).
Glasgow visit Exeter after Chiefs claimed a 15-6 win in Scotland before the start of the current Premiership campaign.
