A very good afternoon I am Usie and I have the pleasure of bringing you live action from Sandy Park. Exeter Chiefs host Bath.

Exeter Chiefs have won their last three matches since their 17-24 reversal at Gloucester in round 13 of Gallagher Premiership Rugby. The Chiefs have not lost at home in Premiership Rugby since Worcester visited Sandy Park in February 2018.

Bath Rugby’s record in Gallagher Premiership Rugby since the turn of the new year is won two lost three. Bath’s only away win in any competition since mid-September was 24-14 over Wasps in Premiership Rugby at Ricoh Arena on 23 December.

The Chiefs have won their last four fixtures against Bath in Gallagher Premiership Rugby since Bath’s 13-11 victory at Sandy Park in October 2016
