Chiefs to play Ospreys in Bridgend

Exeter Chiefs will once more face Welsh side Ospreys in a pre-season friendly as this year the fixture takes place in Bridgend.

Having welcomed the United Rugby Championship side to Sandy Park last September, the Chiefs return the favour and travel to Dunraven Brewery Field on Saturday, 6 September (KO 14:30).

It was a gritty clash in the rain as Chiefs launched the 2024/25 cup kit last season, and the Welshmen took a narrow 10-14 win.

Thus, this season will give Chiefs a chance to secure a result away from home as they prepare for a new and highly competitive Gallagher PREM season.

There will be familiar faces for both sets of opposition fans to cheer on as former Ospreys player Ethan Roots is now a regular in the Chiefs back row while fly-half Jack Walsh – who was previously a Chief for two years – is closing in on 50 appearances for the Welsh region.

Ticket information for the fixture is yet to be confirmed but when on sale, tickets will be available on the Ospreys website here.
