Steve Diamond has named his squad for this Sunday’s sell-out game against Exeter Chiefs (Kick-off – 3:15PM) at the AJ Bell Stadium.
James Phillips returns in place of the suspended Jean-Luc du Preez, Rob du Preez moves into the fly-half position and Sam James is back at 13 following his injury. Marland Yarde replaces his fellow England international Denny Solomona on the wing and Will Cliff moves to the bench after Papier’s loan move from the Bulls ended.
