Exeter make five changes as they look to maintain their 100% record by beating Bayonne on Sunday in Pool 3 of the Investec Champions Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Josh Hodge starts at full-back and Olly Woodburn replaces England’s new recruit Immanuel Feyi-Waboso on the wing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ollie Devoto comes in at inside centre, while Dan Frost is named at hooker and new Wales captain Dafydd Jenkins returns from injury at lock.<\/span><\/p>\n

With three straight wins Exeter have already secured a home knockout tie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Munster’s <\/span>defeat by Northampton on Saturday<\/span><\/a> ensured a top-two finish in the pool for the Chiefs, but a 53 point bonus-point win on Sunday would secure top spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glasgow’s <\/span>victory over Toulon<\/span><\/a> on Friday means Bayonne have sealed a spot in the Challenge Cup by finishing fifth regardless of their result against Exeter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter said: “It’s an interesting situation as we play pretty much the last game of the whole round. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Northampton Saints play Munster the night before we play, so we’ll know exactly what we need to get the second spot and potentially the first spot. So, I think those are all interesting challenges, especially for a young group.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There’s no point trying not to watch their game to know what we need to do – but ensuring it doesn’t become a distraction is what will be important.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bayonne: Spring; Callandret, Maqala, Lestrade, Hannoun; Dolhagaray, Rouet; Perchaud, Giudicelli, Tagi, Marchois (c), Mikautadze, Huguet, Heguy, Bruni.<\/span><\/p>\n
