Exeter Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter has urged his side to use their upcoming cup fixture as a springboard for improved form in the league. The Chiefs have managed just one win from their first five matches of the season, leaving them searching for momentum.
Baxter believes a positive result in the cup competition could provide the confidence boost needed to turn their league fortunes around. The comments were reported by Brent Pilnick for BBC Sport on November 4, 2026.
