Exeter Chiefs are forced to change their winning line-up for Sunday’s Premiership trip to face Northampton Saints (Franklin’s Gardens, 1500).
An injury to Kiwi centre Jason Shoemark means he misses out this weekend so Phil Dollman switches from full-back to midfield.
Luke Arscott starts at 15 following his second half introduction during the opening day 43-6 win over Sale.
Exeter welcome back Fijian powerhouse Sireli Naqelevuki as one of three replacement options in the backs.
• Australian international Dean Mumm is set to arrive at Sandy Park on Monday following his summer switch from Super 15 outfit Waratahs.
