Just 30 minutes to go until kick-off and the stadium is already filling up nicely, with a good atmosphere building - especially among the many Chiefs fans who have made the journey up the M3 for today's special day.

What can we expect today then?

Well firstly, look out for the Exeter scrum. The pack made mince meat of Saracens last weekend and they have the weapons to do the same to Wasps. That will also make their driving maul a real danger, just as it proved in that final minute at Sandy park.

The Wasps back line needs no introduction, given the star names it harbours like Danny Cipriani, Elliot Wade and Willie le Roux. However, it's the Premiership Player of the Year in Jimmy Gopperth that makes everything click, and the inside centre will be the crucial figure in whether Wasps can find the dangermen out wide.

Points, and lots of them. The weather is beautiful and will favour running rugby, which is what we all want to see, as do the teams. Wasps have scored more this season than any other team has ever recorded, while Exeter are not far behind and have also mounted a 15-game Premiership winning streak.

There's plenty of Exeter fans here, and as the two teams are read out, it's the England duo of Jack Nowell and Henry Slade who get the biggest cheers. Unsurprisingly, it's the same for Wasps, as Joe Launchbury and James Haskell get the loudest support.

Exeter head in to the changing rooms a solid five minutes before Wasps, with the table-toppers now heading in to complete their final preparations. Not long to go now, and the final pre-match antics are just being put into place with plenty of fireworks and pyrotechnics planned for the teams' arrival.
