Newcastle Falcons have named their team for Saturday’s Gallagher Premiership trip to Exeter Chiefs as Steve Diamond takes charge of his first competitive game.
The consultant director of rugby presided over a 31-28 away win at Sale Sharks in a friendly match a fortnight ago, and starts Brett Connon at fly-half for Saturday’s encounter in Devon.
An all-English back line sees Tom Penny paired with Rory Jennings in the centres, with homegrown duo Adam Radwan and Ben Stevenson on the wings.
