Scottish international Moray Low is heading to the Aviva Premiership next season after he today finalised his much-anticipated move to Exeter Chiefs.

Irishman Ian Whitten insists Exeter Chiefs can ill afford a slow start when they tackle local rivals Bath in Saturday's Aviva Premiership derby at Sandy Park (3.15pm).
Last Saturday it was Exeter's first half display which ultimately came back to bite them as they went down narrowly 17-16 against league leaders Northampton Saints.
