The Exeter Chiefs go in search of a third straight home win Saturday, Oct. 25, when they host Gloucester Rugby in a West Country derby at Sandy Park. 

Kickoff is scheduled for 10 a.m. ET, live on FloRugby and the FloSports app, with build-up coverage beginning at 9:45 a.m. ET. 

Referee Adam Leal will oversee the contest, assisted by Alex Thomas and Calum Howard, with Luke Pearce as TMO.

After a difficult 2024-2025 campaign, Exeter has rediscovered its rhythm with back-to-back home victories, beating Newcastle Red Bulls 38-15 and Harlequins 38-0. 

Those results have lifted the Chiefs to fifth in the Gallagher PREM Rugby standings heading into the in-season break.

Oval data reflects the team’s balance between kicking and continuity: Exeter led the league in kick meters (1,249) and kicks in play (42) last round, while also topping all clubs in attacking ruck entries. 

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso’s form has been electric — six tries and a league-high 13 offloads — while captain Dafydd Jenkins continues to set the physical tone with relentless work at the breakdown.

For Gloucester, injuries have disrupted their rhythm. 

Ollie Thorley, Ben Loader and Josiah Edwards-Giraud all miss out, forcing four changes for the visitors. 

Tomos Williams returns to captain from scrumhalf, with Ben Redshaw back from injury on the wing, and academy product Jack Cotgreave making his first appearance of the season. 

Despite defensive struggles, Gloucester remains elite at the set piece, leading PREM Rugby with an 87.5% scrum success rate and perfect line-out execution last round.

Why Exeter Chiefs vs. Gloucester Rugby Matters

The Chiefs have rebuilt momentum after a tough 2024-2025 season, anchored by a powerful forward unit and clinical finishing from Feyi-Waboso and Slade. 

Gloucester, on the other hand, is eager to stop a slide and re-establish its defensive identity. 

Both clubs boast standout individual performers — Exeter’s Stephen Varney leads the league with four try assists, while Gloucester’s Matias Alemanno has made 85 attacking ruck entries, the most in the competition. 

With regional bragging rights and crucial mid-table points on the line, this West Country clash carries both rivalry heat and playoff implications.
