First BUCS game beckons for University of Exeter Women

Exeter University’s Women team will travel to Edinburgh for their first BUCS Super Rugby game of the 2025/26 season today.

The squad features six players who have featured in the PWR Cup for Exeter Chiefs Women this season, but also eight players who will make their BUCS debuts today led by Chiefs winger Eva Sterritt.

A vital part of the Chiefs’ pathway and Poppy Leitch’s U23s development group, the University will be hoping to get their season to a winning start as they play their further fixture away.

University of Exeter Women will play University of Edinburgh at Peffermill Sports Complex (KO 14:45).
