Organisers have today confirmed that Exeter Chiefs will travel to Leicester Tigers for their LV= Cup semi-final on Sunday, March 15.

Rob Baxter's side, who won the competition last March when they defeated Northampton Saints at Sandy Park, missed out on a potential home semi-final when they were defeated 35-18 by Saracens at Allianz Park on Sunday.

That loss means they will tackle the Tigers, who ended the qualification process as top seeds with 18 points from four games.

In the other semi-final, Saracens will play host to Northampton Saints on Saturday, March 14 (12:30pm).

Both fixtures will be screened live on Sky Sports, whilst the final itself - which takes place at Franklin's Gardens on Sunday, March 22 - will also be played out in front of the Sky cameras.
