Was that a high tackle by Sarah Beckett on Hope Rogers?

It looks like a head on head contact but we'll have a check by the TMO.

Exeter will be kicking themselves.

The pass is floated over the top for Claudia MacDonald, who just has one defender in front of her, but she spills the ball forward.

She kicks it away in frustration after knocking on, and that is a huge let off for Gloucester.

The only try so far was scored by Kelsey Jones in the fifth minute.

Exeter move to within a few metres of the Gloucester line but they concede the penalty for holding on in the ruck.

Terrific defence by the Cherry and Whites.

Exeter haven't had loads of the ball in the opening exchanges but they are just starting to build some momentum.

Gabby Cantorna kicks a penalty into touch and they will have the chance to attack from this.

What a nudge.

Gloucester chuck the ball to the backs but Lleucu George shows good awareness to put boot to ball and find touch deep in Exeter territory.

Clever kick by the Welsh fly-half.

Gloucester are over in the corner but has Natasha Hunt successfully grounded the ball?

The scrum-half is adjudged to have been held up and Exeter can clear their lines.

Let-off for Chiefs.

Both sides are showing plenty of attacking intent, which is well-suited to the June sunshine.

It's been a ferocious start.

Wallop.

Exeter look to get back into the game and fire the ball flat and wide to the dangerous Claudia Macdonald.

But Emma Sing is up quickly and puts in a huge hit.

That cheer was almost as loud as it was for the opening try a few moments ago.

Now it's Gloucester's turn to to throw the ball around and challenge the Exeter defence.

The Cherry and Whites are being urged forward by the majority of the supporters inside the ground.

Exeter begin the game brightly as they look to keep the ball moving.

It's knocked on in midfield but the Chiefs are showing plenty of early intent.

We are up and running at Queensholm...

Now then.

It's almost time for kick off and Queensholm is covered in glorious sunshine.

The 8,000 supporters in the stands are making plenty of noise to add to the atmosphere too!

Today will the focus for both sides but they may have half an eye on next season...

The chief executive of the Premier 15s says she will be introducing tougher penalties for sides who break rules on fielding foreign players next season.

Clubs currently face soft penalties, such as a reduction in funding, for persistently selecting more than two foreign players in a matchday squad.

But Belinda Moore says top-flight clubs could be docked points for similar offences in 2023-24.

"Next year we will start to enforce penalties," Moore told BBC Sport.

Exeter are perhaps entering this arena in a better mindset because they have been in the final before, they've had some tricky games where they've had to come away with something and they have the mentality to stick at it for 80 minutes.

England's Claudia MacDonald wants to cap off one of her "favourite seasons" in rugby with a Premier 15s title.

The 27-year-old, who was part of the England side that played in the World Cup final in November, moved to Exeter last summer from Wasps.

And now she has helped Chiefs to a second successive Premier 15s final after losing to Saracens last year.

"The amount of game time I've had, the consistency of playing with Chiefs has just been brilliant," she said.

Moving away from the rugby itself briefly now...

Gloucester-Hartpury players will donate their match fees from Saturday's Premier 15s final to Ed Slater's motor neurone disease campaign.

The 4Ed fund was set up by the former Gloucester lock last year following his diagnosis of MND which led to his retirement from rugby.

It aims to raise funds for Slater's treatment and to support his family, while also raising awareness of MND.

The idea to donate the fees came from Gloucester-Hartpury prop Kathryn Buggy.

It’s massive to see teams from outside London in the final.

Exeter came into the mix last year and to have Gloucester this year is great. Exeter and Gloucester have built huge fan bases and it’s great for the game.

Exeter made it back-to-back finals by edging past last year's winners Saracens 24-21 in their semi-final tie.

You can enjoy the highlights of that one below.
