Rob Baxter has sent a second string side to Paris to take on Racing 92 on Sunday in Round Two of the 2025/26 EPCR Challenge Cup, gambling his wider squad can get at least a point from the hop across The Channel.

Here are all the ways you can follow all the action from the opening pool stage game…

When is the game?

Racing 92 vs Exeter Chiefs is being played on Sunday, December 14 at the Stade Dominique Duvauchelle.

What time is kick-off?

The kick-off time is at 1pm UK time.

Is the game on TV or being streamed?
