Gareth Steenson says Exeter Chiefs can expect to face a fired-up Bristol outfit when the two collide in tonight’s Westcountry derby at Ashton Gate (7:45pm).
Facing off competitively for the first time in six years, the Chiefs playmaker is reading little into the current fortunes of Andy Robinson’s side, who have yet to win in three games since their return to the top flight this season.
Last weekend’s 70-22 defeat at in-form Wasps represented Bristol’s lowest point yet, but Steenson believes a return to home soil, coupled with the cut and thrust of a derby occasion, will...

A motorcyclist has died following a serious collision in Newton Abbot on Thursdsay (22 September).
Emergency services were called to Shaldon Road at 2.10pm after the collision between a red Mercedes B180 and the black Yamaha V-Max motorcycle outside Milber Service Station.
The motorcycle rider, a 53-year-old man from Torquay, sustained life-threatening injuries and was taken to Torbay Hospital. He died from his injuries in the early hours of today [23 September].
Formal identification has not been carried although his next of kin have been informed.
New research released today has revealed that in the last year alone one in eight private renters has suffered from an illegal act committed by a landlord – equivalent to nearly 100,000 private renters in the region. Nationally, over a million – or one in eight – private renters across England have suffered at the hands of a landlord who has broken the law.
Alarmingly, the survey by Shelter and YouGov uncovered a worrying range of problems with law-breaking landlords in the South West of England, ranging from unlawful behaviour to serious criminal offences.
