Bristol Bears defeated Exeter Chiefs 40-33 in an excellent attacking clash at Ashton Gate to get a win in their final home game of a difficult season.
Tries from Callum Sheedy, a Charles Piutau double, Alapati Leiua (scoring on his final Ashton Gate appearance), Toby Fricker and Luke Morahan were enough to give Bears a victory that has all but ended Exeter’s play-off hopes, and intriguingly given them their maiden defeat at Ashton Gate.
Chiefs also looked strong with the ball in hand, with scores from Santiago Grondona, Josh Hodge, James Kenny and Dave Ewers giving us a thrilling, competitive game of rugby.
