Devon, a county too long in the doldrums of rugby, have this year adopted a positive coaching policy and today's side will be chosen from an initially selected squad of 35 players. Their game is based on fast, open rugby and built round a light but mobile pack. A win today against a strong Somerset side could give them the confidence in their endeavour to eclipse their more renowned Cornish neighbours in the South-Western Division of the Championship.
