Change of date for Gloucester away

 

Premiership Rugby have today confirmed a switch of date for Exeter’s top flight trip to Gloucester in April.

As the game is due to be screened live on BT Sport, Rob Baxter’s side will now travel to Kingsholm on Friday, April 15 (7:45pm).

The Round 20 fixture is one of four that will be broadcast live over the weekend.

Other games set for coverage include Saracens' trip to Wembley Stadium to take on Harlequins. The Aviva Premiership Rugby clash last season drew a world record 84,068 crowd for a club rugby match and this time another bumper attendance is expected at the iconic stadium.

The Saracens and Harlequins clash, which kicks off on April 16 at 3.15pm, is the first of an incredible double header that also sees Leicester Tigers make the short trip to Franklin's Gardens to tackle Northampton Saints at 5.30pm.

The live TV action ends on Sunday, April 17 at 3pm with London Irish's trip to Newcastle Falcons.
