Exeter Chiefs face south west rivals Penzance/Newlyn on Saturday, after a hit and miss Christmas.
They beat Wakefield at the County Ground 24-5 before Christmas but that result came after a disappointing show at Bristol, a match they lost 43-15 at the Memorial Ground.
The game against the Pirates is the first of two consecutive home matches; the second falls on January 10 against Pertemps Bees.
The Chiefs will line up as: Ozdemir, Blythe, Davis, Sims, Brown, Vaili, Willis, Baxter, Thomas, Yapp, Kelly, Ward, Rasmussen, Lewsey, Thompson, Brooking, Porte, Gibbons, Miller, John, Tucker, Trethewey.
Penzance/Newlyn currently sit one place off the bottom of the National Division One table. And they will be hoping to pick up some valuable points from the clash.
Richard Carroll will be out until mid-February, as will David Whitehead who has picked up a hand injury. Both Viliami Ma'asi and Mark Fatialofa have had operations and will be out for up to a month each. Rob Thirlby is back from England 7s duty though.
A full match report will be in this Sunday's Independent.
