Round 2 Team News
Take a look at how the sides line up ahead of Round 2 of the Premiership Rugby Cup.
After a much-anticipated opening round, which more than lived up to the pre-season hype, the stage is set for Round 2 of the Premiership Rugby Cup, with all 12 Championship clubs in action this weekend. Coventry and Ealing Trailfinders produced sensational wins against Premiership opposition in Round 1: could we see another scalp this weekend? We'll soon find out, but it will be a tall assignment with the top tier clubs enjoying home advantage in all six Premiership v Championship showdowns.
Once again, TNT Sports will be broadcasting one of the stand-out fixtures of the round, and we're delighted to confirm that Jersey Reds will be live on TV this Saturday at 13:00 BST, when they take on Bath Rugby at The Rec in what should be a fascinating encounter that pits the Championship champions against Premiership opposition.
