How to watch Bath Rugby v Exeter Chiefs live on TV, kick-off time and full team news
Exeter Chiefs head to the Recreation Ground on Saturday evening looking for their first win of the season in the Gallagher Premiership against top of the table Bath Rugby.
After three back-to-back wins in the Premiership Rugby Cup over the last month, the Devon side will face a sterner test this weekend against a battle-hardened Bath side who despite being top of the log have yet to find first this season.
Looking ahead to the game, Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter said: “Bath have been playing very well. Obviously, they were finalists last year and they have built one of the form teams, one of the strongest squads in the Premiership. Johann [Van Graan] has done a fantastic job. You can tell he’s a very switched-on guy around how they produce their performances, and I’ve got a lot of respect for what he’s done there.

“It’s going to be a tough challenge for us but I think we need that now. This is what it should be about. After all, you’re in the Premiership to have tough games. It should be the best rugby you can play.
“I’m looking forward to it. The only messages I’m going to give the players is to get their heads up and just play. I don’t want them to be in the scenario where they think because it’s a Premiership game they have to play differently. There will be elements of it that will be a bit tougher but it’s still a game of rugby.”
