Exeter Chiefs Under-18s side are in action this Saturday (Jan 21) when they play host to Gloucester Under-18s in their latest Academy Under-18s League fixture at Sandy Park (2:30pm)

After back-to-back away wins over Bristol and London Irish, Rob Gibson's side will be banking on home advantage to help extend their winning sequence of results.

The Chiefs side is largely unchanged from that which won 24-21 last time out against the Exiles and includes match winner that  day, fly-half Gwyn Parks, alongside the likes of Richard Capstick, Joe Snow Joe Eldurkin and AJ Cant.

Gibson said: "We've had two hard fought victories on the road against Bristol and London Irish, but now we've got to get ready for what we know will be another big test from Gloucester this weekend.

"In the opening two games we've seen plenty of positives from the players, but there are still areas of our game that we need to improve."
