Extensive behind-the-scenes work by players, coaches, staff, stewards and even Exeter Chiefs chief executive Tony Rowe and his deputy Keiron Northcott, over the last 48 hours have ensured that Sunday's Aviva Premiership clash with Saracens will go ahead.

Following the heavy snowfall which has fallen in large parts of the country the past few days - including right here at Sandy Park - numerous people have worked tirelessly to ensure that the game will kick-off as scheduled at 3pm.

The top of the table clash was expected to take place on Saturday, but following discussions between both clubs and Premiership Rugby officials, it was decided to postpone the game by 24 hours.

With conditions in the region improving by the hour, all match-days plans appear to be in place for what is expected to be a mouth-watering encounter between the division's top two sides.

Supporters attending the game are advised to leave additional travel time to the game - and also to check with the club's media channels and local travel news to keep up with the very latest match-day information.

For those supporters unable to attend the game, the match will be screened live on BT Sport.
