It is with regret we share that our Round 3 Premiership Rugby Cup fixture against Exeter Chiefs scheduled for Wednesday 29 December at the Rec cannot go ahead safely.

We have worked hard to find a solution, including sourcing additional players; however, a combination of Covid-related player absences and existing injuries means an insufficient number of front row forwards are available to fulfil a matchday 23.

Furthermore, there is not enough time to add any further players to our squad who we can be confident are Covid free, and with a Gallagher Premiership fixture scheduled within the next seven days, the safety of our wider squad and staff must be paramount.

Therefore, our fixture has been cancelled. Premiership Rugby will determine the points allocation for this fixture over the coming days in line with the Premiership Rugby Cup regulations.

Our Gallagher Premiership game against London Irish on Monday 3 January remains unaffected.

Supporter Ticket Refund Information

A credit will be automatically applied to Season Ticket Holder and Annual Hospitality Member accounts.

Supporters who have purchased tickets for this match will receive a refund (excluding the original booking fee) within 10 working days.

Finally, all supporters with matchday hospitality bookings will be contacted by our Hospitality team with an option to either join us at other fixtures or apply for a refund.

We are sorry to share this disappointing news today and wish everyone all the best for the New Year.
