Bath's Finn Russell out for semi-final against Exeter

Finn Russell is sidelined for Bath's Gallagher Prem semi-final clash with Exeter Chiefs at the Rec, missing his third consecutive match due to a calf injury. Director of rugby Johann van Graan had hoped for Russell's return, but he is not fit to play. Santiago Carreras will fill in at fly half. Bath also lacks Guy Pepper, while Tom Dunn and Quinn Roux return from suspension. Exeter faces its own injury concerns, most losing Ethan Roots due to a head injury. They welcome back Greg Fisilau, but winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is out post-surgery. The victor advances to face Northampton or Leicester in the final at Twickenham next week.
