"Traditionally if you look at how close the scorelines have been between us and Bath over the last five or six years, normally with Bath on the right side of them, you've probably got to say that this is one of the most competitive games over four or five years that we've had in the Premiership," Chiefs boss Rob Baxter told BBC Sport.

"We've got to play very well this weekend, we've got to be very focused right from the start.

"Bath have shown they're very dangerous early in games, we've shown in the last couple of weeks that we've not been at our best early in games, there's an awful lot of things there in the recipe that makes for a very exciting weekend for us."

A court has heard there was "no qualified foreman" on a highway repair site where a road worker died.

South West Highways have been fined £500,000 over safety failings that led to the death of Steven Tolly, 48, as he repaired potholes on the A361 North Devon Link Road at Gornhay Cross.

Mr Tolly suffered fatal head injuries after he was hit by a van and knocked into a hot-box full of boiling tar.

In Exeter Crown Court Judge Mr Justice Dingemans said traffic should have been diverted away from the workers or put on a contraflow.

A warning about a similar near miss just four days before had not been heeded by the Highways company, which was contracted to repair roads for Devon County Council, the court heard.

The four workers in the group, including Mr Tolly should have had a protected safety area to keep vehicles 1.2m away from them, but it was not put in place.

Sentencing Mr Dingemans said: "There was, in my judgement, a high likelihood of harm resulting in the risk of death to unprotected workers. There were two causes of this accident, careless driving and the failure to protect worker by having safety zones."

Torquay boss Gary Owers may need to slim down his squad if he is to bring in fresh talent.

The Gulls boss says he is facing an "element of uncertainty" as he ponders how to use his remaining loans.

Owers feels his plans to bring in new players have been hit by the size of the squad he inherited when he took over as Gulls boss in September.

"If I was coming in on day one I'd go with a squad of 18 outfield players and two goalkeepers and try to spend more money on less players," he continued.

"When I arrived I had a squad of 27, so that's what I've been dealt with and that's what I'm trying to sort out now.

"I am really looking at it at the minute and thinking about how we move forward.

"If I take a certain amount of loans in and I lose them all before the end of the season, in the later months we could be four or five down again and scraping through and I don't want to do that."
