Exeter’s only win at Twickenham came against Wasps<\/p><\/div>\n

The domestic cup final showpiece takes place at Twickenham this Saturday.<\/h2>\n

The match has been overshadowed by an outbreak of COVID that affected one of the participating sides. Wasps’ very participation was threatened by an outbreak earlier this month.<\/p>\n

They will be without eleven players against a side who convincingly finished top of the regular and went on to win the European Cup with aplomb defeating Racing 92 in the final.<\/p>\n

Wasps cleared to play Exeter\u00a0 in showpiece final<\/a><\/p>\n

That eleven is composed of four players, and three staff from screening done last week, and then an additional four from positive tests on Saturday. But due to close proximity, coach Lee Blackett will be without eleven actual players.<\/p>\n

\n

Wasps were only given medical clearance to play on Wednesday while Exeter’s sole doubt has been whether they will face Blackett’s side or Bristol who were ready to replace them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When Wasps announced their line up on Friday, there was good news.<\/div>\n
