Exeter Chiefs and Racing 92 go in search of first Heineken Champions Cup crown

 

Wasps most recent final appearance came in 2017, when they lost to Exeter 23-20 after extra time.

Bristol are taking part in the play-offs for the first time since 2007, and have never reached the Twickenham showpiece or won the league title.

The Devonians are aiming to get to a fifth consecutive Premiership final and add to their 2017 triumph at Twickenham.

Bath have previously reached two finals, losing to Wasps in 2004 and Saracens in 2015. They haven’t won away at Sandy Park since 2016.

Good luck everyone.

The longest season of Premiership history concludes this afternoon for all but 4 clubs, who will go through!?

The Premiership says goodbye to Robshaw on his 300th game for Quins, against a fitting opponent in Leicester Tigers. Thank you Robbo!

We also say goodbye to Brad Barritt, captain of Sarries who unfortunately won’t be taking the field after failing concussion protocols.

Finally, Sarries say goodbye to Wiggles but we may yet still see him in the Premiership…

Good luck everyone.
