The playoff equation will not be entirely sorted until next weekend but Exeter are launching a furious late surge to reach the top four. The Chiefs needed to win here with a bonus point and send Quins home with as little as possible and a storming second-half display in the Devon sunshine duly saw them prolong their semi-final hopes into the final round.
Breathless entertainment is becoming the Premiership’s stock in trade and here was another vibrant example. Exeter’s back row were again conspicuously forceful, with Ethan Roots and Greg Fisilau both excellent, and the Chiefs – who won the second-half 37-5 – also had the thrillingly dynamic Immanuel Feyi-Waboso who added two more tries and several big linebreaks to his increasingly striking portfolio.
