Premiership Rugby and Exeter Rugby Club are united in paying tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her inspirational life of service and her unparalleled contribution to the United Kingdom.

Following consultation with the RFU, DCMS and the PRL Board, Premiership Rugby can confirm that as a mark of respect, the two Gallagher Premiership matches scheduled for today will be postponed. Bristol Bears versus Bath Rugby will take place at 5.30pm on Saturday and an update will be given on the Sale Sharks versus Northampton Saints as soon as possible.

The other matches scheduled for Saturday and Sunday - including Exeter Chiefs against Leicester Tigers - will go ahead as scheduled, with Premiership clubs joining with supporters in recognising Queen Elizabeth’s life and service. Prior to the start of each match, a one-minute silent tribute will take place followed by the national anthem. All players and coaches will be invited to wear black armbands.
