The Prem: Tub 40-34 Exeter: Tub beat Chiefs in 11-try thriller


Tub director of rugby Johann van Graan advised BBC Radio Somerset:

“It was a loopy sport of rugby as soon as once more, Tub versus Exeter. We began the sport very well however then they got here out punching after half-time and scored three unanswered tries.

“However then that is why this sport is a 23-man effort as we then got here again with the impression of our eight (subs) who made a very good distinction, so I am actually pleased with the 5 factors.

“We’re very happy with our bench and numbers 16 to 23 at this membership are simply as necessary as numbers one to fifteen.”

Exeter Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter advised BBC Radio Devon:

“The necessary emotion is I am strolling away going ‘we have got a group right here and we have got one thing to work with’.

“Final week was such a patchy efficiency (shedding 45-24 to Gloucester) however immediately we confirmed a whole lot of good qualities.

“The qualities of being in a combat to the loss of life, that is what Exeter Chiefs are about. Do you wish to be excellent or do you wish to be in a combat each single week? Effectively we’ll be in a combat each single week.

“I am fairly pleased with that, that is what we’re good at and I noticed that immediately.”
