Exeter Chiefs' trip to Salford to play Sale in December has been moved forward a day to suit TV broadcasters. The match will now take place on Friday, December 19 (7.45pm) after the latest round of dates and kick-off times were confirmed this week. Rob Baxter's men will also have their games broadcast the following two weekends, with the trip to Bath on Saturday, December 27, now kicking off at 2pm while the visit of Gloucester to Sandy Park seven days later will start at 4.30pm. And the Chiefs will also feature on TV in the European Challenge Cup, with their trip to La Rochelle being picked to be broadcast on Thursday, December 4 (7.45pm GMT). The Top 14 side will make the return trip to Devon on Saturday, December 13 (3pm) for the fourth round of matches in Pool Two. The dates and kick-off times for the final two rounds of matches in Europe will be announced following round four. Exeter travel to Connacht in mid-January, with Bayonne heading to Exeter the following week. And there has also been a change to the LV= Cup fixtures, with the Chiefs now hosting Gloucester on Saturday, November 1 (3pm). They had been due to face Newport Gwent Dragons away that day, but the Welsh region are in Guinness League action that weekend. Exeter will now face the Dragons on January 31, when they were due to welcome Gloucester to Sandy Park. The changes to the Anglo-Welsh cup schedule mean Exeter have five home games in six weekends in the autumn and only one at home in five weekends in January and early February. In addition, the home game against Bath in the LV= Cup on November 8 will now kick-off at 4.30pm to avoid a clash with England's international against New Zealand earlier that afternoon. Exeter's game against Saracens at home on November 29 has already been moved to a 4.30pm start time to allow supporters to watch England against Australia that day.
