Chiefs side to face Gloucester

Ali Hepher says the time has come for Exeter Chiefs to "get the hammer down" and propel themselves ever closer to the Aviva Premiership play-offs.

The home side then went in front again after a wonderful finish from George Maris, but after Matt Jay scored his first senior goal for the club, Jake Taylor was on hand to round off the comeback late on to ensure the Grecians keep up their hopes for automatic promotion.

Paul Tisdale named an unchanged...
