Gloucester Rugby head coach George Skivington has made four changes to the starting XV from their dramatic late 22-21 win at London Irish for tonight's clash against Exeter Chiefs at Kingsholm, 1945ko.

Harry Elrington replaces last week's player of the match Val Rapava-Ruskin in the front row as the loose-head prop is away on England duty along with hooker Jack Singleton.

Santiago Socino, who scored two tries against Irish, and Fraser Balmain complete the front row.

Academy graduate Cam Jordan comes in for Matias Alemanno in the second row.

In the back-row Ruan Ackermann moves from number 8 to blind-side as Ben Morgan replaces Jordy Reid.

Last Friday's match winner Adam Hastings start at 10 but with England ace Jonny May out injured, Santi Carreras moves out to the wing and Lloyd Evans comes in at full-back. Wales international star Louis Rees-Zammit starts on the right wing.

On the bench, Henry Walker, Kirill Gotovtsev and Tom Seabrook are in line for their first Premiership minutes of the season.
