THE LV= Cup has had a fixture reshuffle to avoid a clash with Newport Gwent Dragons’ Guinness Pro12 encounter with Ulster.

The Dragons were initially pencilled in to host Exeter on the weekend of October 31 but that clashed with their league trip to Belfast.

They will now take on the Chiefs in round three at the end of January. That was meant to be when they headed to the Ospreys but they will now take on their regional rivals on November 14/15/16, a spare Pro12 weekend.

  • November 14/15/16 – Ospreys (a)
