Draw keeps South West sides apart

There will be no South West derbies in the EDF National Trophy quarter-finals after the region's three remaining sides were kept apart in the draw.

Exeter Chiefs face Esher at Sandy Park thanks to Saturday's straightforward 24-0 home win over Coventry.

Plymouth Albion, who beat Birmingham & Solihull, are away to the winners of the Rotherham Titans-Manchester tie.

And Launceston, who thrashed Blackheath 61-15 at Polson Bridge, must also travel, to in-form Nottingham.

All matches are scheduled for the weekend of 23 and 24 February.
