Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter hopes a return to home surroundings will provide the perfect pick-me-up to get his ailing side back on track in the Aviva Premiership.
With just one league defeat at Sandy Park this season - that came against Northampton Saints back in early January - the Chiefs welcome Premiership newcomers to London Welsh to Devon tomorrow (3pm).
Like the Chiefs, the visitors have also been experiencing some tough times of late and last weekend's narrow home defeat to Sale Sharks has pulled Lyn Jones' team into the division's relegation fight.
When the ‘Fat Lady’ or should that be ‘Fat Bloke’ sang with a minute to go, that – I suppose – summed up the ‘Saracens Show’ (Saracens 31 : Chiefs 11).
Three goals from Ben Friend helped Dawlish United cruise to victory in the Devon & Exeter League 2nd Division, keeping first place in close sight.
In a first half in which the hosts forced no less than ten corners, it came as no surprise when Kristain Rabbage capitalised to net his side in front after 22 minutes, shortly after himself and Isaac Reed had shots saved.
As more pressure mounted on the visitors in the seaside sun, Dawlish doubled their lead when Friend headed in from a free-kick in the 39th minute - his first of the...

Fresh from agreeing a new contract with the Exeter Chiefs, flanker James Scaysbrook has quickly set his sights on this Saturday's Aviva Premiership trip to Saracens.
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after another two of his current squad committed their futures to the Aviva Premiership club.
A second-half brace by Jamie Cureton, and a strike from Arron Davies, gave Exeter City a club record tenth away win of the season with a 3-0 win at Morecambe.
The Students put up a tough fight but failed to match Okehampton's three in an energetic match between two close rivals of the South West Peninsular Division One.
University of Exeter missed several opportunities to take the lead in a fairly even start, but it was Argyle who struck first with a strong header from a corner after quarter of an hour played.
