In Lester, it's March 15th, and here's what is going on. Lester Tigers grabbed their first prem rugby cup title with a stunning 66-14 thrashing of Exeter Chiefs at Arrani Matioli Woods. Well for Road, the home side took total control in the first half, racing to a 35-point lead after outscoring the visitors five tries to one. Standout performers included Will Wanda and Billy Surrell, who each back two tries, while Archie Vanderflier added one before Exeter's Ross Vincent, pulled one back just before the break. After half-time, Exeter's Will Hayden Woods scored to make it look a bit closer, but Tigers piled on with more from Vanderflier, Gabriel Hamerweb, Tariq Hafar, James O'Connor, and a penalty try. This marks Lester's first silverware since 2022, and sets a new record for the biggest winning margin in the cup final. Thanks to our sponsor for supporting today's coverage.
