Exeter Braves have named another strong line-up ahead of tonight's Aviva Premiership A League encounter at Harlequins (7.30pm).

Having collected home wins against Bath and London Welsh, the only blot on the copybook for the defending champions this season was a defeat on the road to Saracens Storm.

This evening, however, the Braves can expect another stiff examination in the capital as they face a Quins' side, who themselves have also won two of their three games and currently lead the southern section.

Among those lining up for the visitors will be Aussie international Dean Mumm, front-row duo Neil Clark and Ben Moon, lock Damian Welch, as well a back division which includes experienced names such as Junior Poluleuligaga, Mark Foster and Nic Sestaret.

England Under-20s starlets Jack Arnott, Jack Nowell, Henry Slade and Luke Cowan-Dickie are also named in the Exeter squad.
