Sireli Naqelevuki will get another chance to impress in the back row as an Exeter Chiefs academy side take on Exmouth this evening.
Naqelevuki, who normally plays in the centre, was given his first chance to impress on the flank when he helped the academy side to a 24-0 win over Redruth last week with a try-scoring performance.
The match against Exmouth will see the Fijian international line-up against his former Chiefs teammate Chris Bentley.
Naqelevuki will be joined in the academy side by Jerry Sexton, the younger brother of Ireland fly-half Jonathan. Jerry is currently on trial at the Chiefs, having failed to agree a new deal at French Pro D2 side Auch.
Exmouth, who were relegated from National Two South last season, have named a strong side for the match, which will include new signings Ollie Rice, Jack Pyne, Isaac Dalton, Ollie Cave and Ben Hawley.
The match at Exmouth's Imperial Ground kicks-off at 6.45pm.
