Preview: Harlequins vs. Exeter Chiefs

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Aviva Premiership encounter between leaders Harlequins and Exeter at Twickenham Stoop.

Aviva Premiership leaders Harlequins could extend their advantage at the top of the table on Saturday when they host Exeter Chiefs at Twickenham Stoop.

The champions currently sit one point clear of Saracens following a run of six wins from seven matches.

Exeter have slipped down to eighth place in recent weeks thanks to a disappointing return of one victory from their previous six outings.

Fly-half Nick Evans returns from injury for the hosts, while Nick Easter and Tom Guest also come into the side.

Hoani Tui, Dean Mumm and Jason Shoemark are all missing for the visitors through injury, allowing places for Alex Brown, Damian Welch and Phil Dollman in the starting XV.
