Harvey Skinner: Exeter fly-half determined to prove doubters wrong

Skinner is part of an exciting back-line at Exeter under the guidance of relatively new attack coach Dave Walder.

Australia centre Len Ikitau is set to come into a side that includes England’s Henry Slade and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and powerful winger Paul Brown-Bampoe.

“We’ve got boys that can just produce magic from nothing, so it’s making sure we’re all on the same page,” he said.

“We want to make make our brand of rugby a lot more exciting and we’ve definitely got the players to do that.”

He added: “Now with Dave it’s a different way of thinking.

“Especially my game, just how I can forward think – who I’ve got in my squad, who I’ve got around me, what strengths they bring, what weaknesses maybe they bring, and how I can play the right calls around who’s around me.

“It’s definitely challenged me in a different way of thinking.”
