Exeter Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs were beaten 40-34 by Bath at the Recreation Ground, with Henry Slade missing two conversions and a late penalty. Coach Rob Baxter defended Slade, urging him to shake off the disappointment and highlighted his record of clutch kicks, while teammate Harvey Skinner secured a losing bonus point with a 79th‑minute penalty.

Exeter Chiefs’ star wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been cleared to play in Saturday’s Prem final against Northampton. Feyi-Waboso suffered a facial fracture in Exeter’s victory against Leicester at the end of May but has been declared fit after England signed off on his recovery.
