No complacency from Chiefs boss

Exeter Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs coach Pete Drewett has said he will not allow his side to get complacent ahead of Saturday's trip to struggling Otley.

The Chiefs are up to second in National League One after last week's 41-14 win over Plymouth.

Drewett told BBC Radio Devon: "It's been a tough two months for us, but we've got three away wins.

"There is no complacency, Otley have been playing some good rugby but have not been getting the results."

The match sees hooker Sam Blythe make his 150th league appearance for the Sandy Park club with Matt Jess also returning to the starting line-up.

Exeter is all about being a big family

Coach Pete Drewett
Jess missed the Devon derby due to training with the England Sevens.

"I think it is superb that Sam has reached his 150th league game. It just shows the character of the man," said Drewett.

"It is very important to us as a club to have players with such experience around, not only for their contribution on the pitch but also to help the newer players in the squad. Exeter is all about being a big family."
