Craig Evans will be the man in the middle at Kingsholm on Sunday as Bath and Exeter Chiefs fight for glory in the Anglo-Welsh Cup Final (3pm).

Welshman Evans will be supported by Adam Jones and Gareth John on the sidelines, while Sean Bricknell is the TMO.

The Chiefs are in their fourth straight Anglo-Welsh Cup Final, although they have lost the previous two, after a narrow win against Newcastle Falcons on Sunday – joining Bath, who beat Northampton Saints on Friday night.

In tough conditions, Bath needed to use all of their big-game experience to get through – with Levi Douglas scoring the only try in the first half.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs came from behind to book their place at Kingsholm, with fly-half Joe Simmonds scoring in the second half to help beat the Falcons.
