Cardiff Blues can today announce that they will play Exeter Chiefs, at Sandy Park, on Saturday 21 August in a pre season friendly match.
Exeter has a long history of rugby with the first recorded match being against the training college (latterly St Luke's) on October 26, 1873. Exeter won by one touchdown and four saves to two saves.
Last season was the best yet for Exeter winning promotion to play in the Guinness Premiership, Amlin Challenge Cup and LV= Cup for the very first time. The Chiefs gained promotion after facing Bristol in the Championship final. The Chiefs recorded a narrow 9-6 win as home and a 29 point to 10 win at the Memorial Ground to secure their place at the top tier of English rugby for the 2010/11 season.
Kick off time is expected to be confirmed from Exeter within the next few days.
