    Exeter Chiefs - the nearly men of the last few seasons. Always there or thereabouts around the top four, but never quite make it. 

    Well, this may well be the season it all changes for Rob Baxter's second-placed side. They currently hold an eight-point gap over fourth-placed Northampton after a blistering first half of the campaign.

    Today's opponents Bath on the other hand are suffering something of a hangover.

    Last year's beaten finalists are struggling in ninth, having won just four of their 12 games so far.

    However, this is the Premiership. It's unpredictable. Who knows what will happen at a sold-out Sandy Park today!?
