Last weekend Leicester Tigers beat reigning champions Bath Rugby 46-21, while Exeter Chiefs overcame Northampton Saints 31-14 to set up today’s final.
As the higher seeds, Tigers get home advantage, though this game really could go either way. It’s also the perfect opportunity to see the next generation of talent in action before the big names return from representing their countries in the Six Nations.
