He had a good game against Quins so why change anything from last week? In fact the only change I would make is at No.8 as I see Hamilton more suited to Exeters style of play as he is fitter and faster than McCaffrey.
Do you have a reference/link to him stating his preference to play 13?

Every mention I've seen suggests it is wing.

Betham at his best is a wonderful player but he's woefully out of form at the minute. Probably requires a kick up the backside and a spell on the bench - let him come off the bench and use that hurt positively.

Williams at 12 with Mermoz to 13 might be a good shout.

I've probably looked forward to this game more than any other all season. Friday night after work under the lights and it's a massive game. Can't wait.

Looks like a great night, alas won't make it by the looks of it. Both childminding and weather against - don't like Mrs G being in constant rain etc since she has little immune system.

Temporary poor health means I won't be there either. However, setting up the second lounge with a new TV and getting the fire in there working means that Mrs Strawclearer is happy to leave me and my Merlot in front of BTSport at 7pm on Friday! :smt030 :smt041
