Tony Yapp returns to the Chiefs line-up to face Northampton

Kevin Barrett comes in at scrum half in place of Clive Stuart-Smith while Simon Jenkins makes a rare start at hooker.

Northampton could win National League One if they beat the Chiefs.

"All we can concentrate on is putting in a performance we can be proud of and make it a tough encounter," Director of Rugby Pete Drewett told BBC Spotlight.

The match is also a dress rehearsal for next month's EDF National Trophy final at Twickenham and Drewett says his side can do what no other team has done this season and beat the former European champions.

"We've played well throughout the year. We only lost to them by a few points here in the last seconds of the game and we're going up there to try and do a job."
