Bristol Bears put another huge dent in Exeter Chiefs' play-off hopes

Exeter Chiefs’ play-off dreams now hang by the thinnest of threads after suffering their first ever loss at Ashton Gate as Bristol Bears defeated them 40-33 on Friday night.

The hosts strode to victory thanks to tries from Callum Sheedy, Charles Piutau’s brace, Alapati Leiua - scoring on his final appearance at Ashton Gate before moving to France in the summer, Toby Fricker and Luke Morahan.

Along with Leuia, John Afoa and Dave Attwood were also making their final Ashton Gate appearances in Bristol Bears colours, getting a dreamy send-off before they move on to their new clubs.
