Following a bonus point victory over Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park this afternoon, Bath Rugby join Northampton Saints, Leicester Tigers and Llanelli Scarlets in the semi-finals of the 2011-12 LV= Cup.

Newcastle Falcons are delighted to announce that Jimmy Gopperth has signed a three year contract extension at Kingston Park.

The Scarlets travel to Sale Sharks this weekend for the final pool round of their LV=Cup competition (kick off 1500 Saturday 4th February) with three wins from three so far in the competition.

Deprived of the services of a dozen players this week due to international call ups, it's a reshuffled Gloucester Rugby side who take on London Irish in the LV= Cup this weekend.
