Frenchman Romain Poite will take charge of Saturday's Heineken Champions Cup Round Five clash between Glasgow Warriors and Exeter Chiefs at Scotstoun Stadium (3:15pm).

Poite will be assisted by compatriots Vincent Blanco and Adrian Descottes with Denis Grenduillet appointed as the TV match official.

The Chiefs currently top Pool Two of this season's competition, having collected 19 out of a possible 20 points from their four fixtures to date.

The two sides last met in the reverse fixture in Round Two, where Rob Baxter's side emerged 34-18 winners thanks to tries from Jonny Hill, Henry Slade, Sam Simmonds and Tom O'Flaherty, as well as 14 points from the boot of fly-half Joe Simmonds.

Saturday's showdown, which will mark a first return back for Exeter's Stuart Hogg to his former club, is a complete sell-out.
