The 2017 Premiership Champions play Wasps on Saturday
Skinner played a key role in helping Exeter beat Leicester Tigers 40-6 at Sandy Park last week. The 23-year-old will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday.
“We’re really happy with our start,” Skinner told the clubs website. “We had a good pre-season, everybody worked hard, and we knew going into the game last week that we’re in pretty good shape. The first half was particularly tough, it was attritional and we had to work hard, but we slowly began to grind them down and we got our rewards later in the game.”
“Like us, they (Wasps) got off to a winning start last week with an away with at Worcester. We know they are a dangerous side, who like to play champagne rugby, so we need to make it about us and bring what we want to the game.
“It’s going to be a tough challenge, but you can say that every week in the Premiership. What we have to do is put our best foot forward and do what we can to make sure we get the result we want.”
The Chiefs will have to make changes to their winning formula with winger Olly Woodburn sidelined with a broken jaw and scrum-half Nic White highly doubtful with a foot injury.
