Gloucester Rugby tripped up to Aviva Premiership Rugby new boys Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park on Saturday. Gloucester have not begun a season with successive losses since 2000/01, and are unbeaten at Kingsholm in any competition since Cardiff Blues won there in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on 8 November.

Leeds Carnegie were defeated at home to Bath on Sunday and in fact have not won any games in rounds one or two of the Premiership since 2002/03. Leeds have won just one of their last four away matches: 23-13 at London Irish on 18 April.

Referee: David Rose (80th Premiership game)
