Centre Dominic Waldouck captains the Falcons’ second-string, Newcastle having finished second in the Northern Conference behind Northampton Wanderers.

The other semi-final sees Northampton hosting Harlequins. Should Newcastle beat Exeter this evening the final would be a week tonight, away to Northampton or at home to Harlequins.

Tonight’s Sandy Park clash is a 7.30pm kick-off. Exeter season ticket holders can get in free of charge, while for non-season ticket holders the prices are £10 for adults, and £5 for youths or students (no student ID required).
