England forwards Tom Johnson returns from injury for Exeter Chiefs’ starting XV at Leicester Tigers tomorrow (Welford Road 1415ko).
Back-row forward James Phillips injured his knee in the 14-12 Premiership win over Saracens encounter so fit-again Johnson, ruled out by injury last Sunday, gets an instant recall.
Kiwi centre Jason Shoemark returns to midfield alongside Sireli Naqelevuki means summer signing Ian Whitten is switched to the right wing. Phil Dollman will start on the bench.
