Cornish Pirates v Exeter Chiefs TV guide, kick-off time and full team news

Exeter Chiefs are looking to pick up their first competitive win of the season on Friday night as they take on Cornish Pirates in opening game of the 2024/25 Premiership Rugby Cup.

Chiefs have gone 0-6 in the Gallagher Premiership so far this season, but turn their attention to a new competition looking to change their fortunes and build some confidence after a bruising start to the campaign. The two sides faced each other in pre-season back in August when Exeter ran out 46-24 wins on a day when the Devon side split their squad across two games.
