Bath and Exeter Rugby match cancelled

Today's (29th December) games won't go ahead due to Covid 19 cases and injuries

Author: Phoebe GreggorPublished 29th Dec 2021

Bath Rugby's Round 3 Premiership Rugby Cup fixture against Exeter Chiefs scheduled for Wednesday 29 December at the Rec cannot go ahead safely.

A combination of Covid-related player absences and existing injuries means an insufficient number of front row forwards are available to fulfil a matchday 23.

The club say, due to a Gallagher Premiership fixture scheduled within the next seven days, "the safety of the wider squad and staff must be paramount".

Premiership Rugby will determine the points allocation for this fixture over the coming days in line with the Premiership Rugby Cup regulations.

The Gallagher Premiership game against London Irish on Monday 3 January remains unaffected.
