Premiership Cup
BT Sport 2, 3pm Sunday

Exeter were the last winners of the Anglo-Welsh Cup and their youngsters go into its replacement the Premiership Cup in fine fettle.

They have scored three try-bonus wins out of three in the South Conference of the new A-League competition, the Premiership Shield.

However, hosts Newcastle rate a bet at 23-20 with Hills. Most firms make the Falcons favourites.

Premiership life has proved tough for Newcastle after they finished fourth in May but back-to-back victories in the European Champions Cup show that they are still moving forward and Kingston Park will be abuzz with demands to avenge March’s 20-17 Anglo-Welsh semi-final loss to the Chiefs at Sandy Park.

Callum Chick, scorer of the last-play try against Montpellier last Sunday, captains the fledgling Falcons who are also flying in the Premiership Shield with three five-points wins and a double-bonus defeat out of four.

Recommendation
Newcastle
1pt 23-20 Hills
