The Exiles are grouped in Pool D along with Gloucester and Exeter Chiefs. Saracens are the reigning Champions from last year’s tournament.

After the pools are completed on Friday evening, Saturday’s matches will start at 2.30pm and see the top eight ranked teams contest the Cup quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, the remaining four sides will head into the Plate semi-finals as they bid to lift some early-season silverware before the tournament concludes at 6.45pm.
