Exeter Chiefs are still in the running to become the first club to win the Premiership Rugby Cup more than once after making it through to the semi-finals of this year’s competition.

The Chiefs’ reward for their 50-14 demolition of Sale Sharks at Sandy Park on Saturday is a home tie against the only Championship team left in the Cup, Ealing Trailfinders, on Saturday, March 8th, kick off 12.15pm.

Ealing will look to go one better than last year when they lost to Leicester in the semi-finals but they’ll come up against a Chiefs side determined to add to their 2023 title.

While Ealing are overwhelming favourites to win the Championship, the Cup represents Exeter’s only hope of silverware this season.

The same applies to fellow Gallagher Premiership strugglers Newcastle, who booked their place in the last four with a 22-17 win over reigning champions Gloucester. The Falcons face Bath at home on Friday, March 7th, kick-off 19:45pm.

Both semi-finals will be shown live on TNT Sports.

The Falcons have gone 21 years without a major trophy, with the Powergen Cup success in 2004 the last piece of silverware won. But they are now just two wins away from providing boss Steve Diamond with an unprecedented hat-trick. Diamond won the Premiership Rugby Cup with Sale Sharks (2020) and Worcester (2022).

Bath produced a remarkable comeback from 28-7 down to beat Harlequins 39-28 in the other quarter-final.

Semi-finals:
1 – Friday 7th March – Newcastle Falcons (1) vs Bath Rugby (3) (7.45pm KO, TNT Sports)
2 – Saturday 8th March – Exeter Chiefs (2) vs Ealing Trailfinders (4) (12.15pm KO, TNT Sports)

The final will be held at the stadium of the highest seeded club to qualify with the kick-off to be confirmed following the conclusion of the semi-finals. So, as top seeds, Newcastle are guaranteed a third consecutive home tie in the knockout stages if they make it past Bath.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
