Premiership Rugby is set to serve up a ‘Christmas Cracker’ at Sandy Park when Exeter Chiefs play host to Westcountry rivals Bath on Christmas Eve (3pm).

In one of the stand-out fixtures on the domestic calendar, Rob Baxter’s side will welcome the Blue, Black & Whites for what will be a mouth-watering encounter in Round 13 of the competition.

Confirmation of the clash was confirmed today as part of the latest TV picks for the two rounds that cover the festive period.

This game will be screened on PRTV, but Exeter’s clash with Saracens at the StoneX Stadium a week later on New Year’s Eve (3pm) is one of six clashes that will be screened live by BT Sport.
