The Story in 60 Seconds

Exeter Chiefs boss Rob Baxter has selected Zack Wimbush on the wing for Sunday's Investec Champions Cup trip to face French champions Toulouse. Wimbush makes only his second career start on the wing due to an enforced change after England international Immanuel Feyi-Waboso sustained a hamstring injury. He joins Tommy Wyatt and full-back Sam Harris in a reshuffled back three, with Olly Woodburn and Paul Brown-Bampoe also sidelined.

Elsewhere in the squad, loosehead prop Will Goodrick-Clarke makes his first start of the campaign, while tighthead Josh Iosefa-Scott leads the team out for his 100th club appearance. Australia international Tom Hooper also returns to the starting lineup to partner captain Dafydd Jenkins in the second row as Baxter's side prepares to face the reigning Top 14 champions.
