Premiership Rugby have today confirmed that Exeter Chiefs are set for more exposure on BT Sport with two of their Gallagher Premiership fixtures confirmed for live coverage.

The first of those dates will be on Sunday, May 10 when Rob Baxter’s side will play host to Gloucester at Sandy Park (3pm).

The Chiefs will be looking to secure a league double over the Cherry & Whites having defeated them 26-15 in Round 10 of the competition last week at Kingsholm.

The other TV date for the Devonians will come six days later when the cameras will screen their much-anticipated clash against defending champions Saracens on Saturday, May 16 at Allianz Park (3pm).

In what is one the red-letter days in the Gallagher Premiership, this meeting between two of the league’s heavyweight sides is sure to attract plenty of interest, particularly after the Chiefs won the earlier meeting back in December 14-7.
