Bath Rugby moved to the top of the Gallagher Premiership table following a 40-34 victory over the Exeter Chiefs in a high-scoring West Country derby. The match featured a total of 11 tries as both sides engaged in an intense offensive battle.

Bath established an early dominance, leading 26-10 at halftime with tries from Cam Redpath, Bernard van der Linde, Dan du Preez, and Finn Russell. However, Exeter staged a significant second-half comeback, led by two tries from Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, to take a 33-31 lead midway through the period.

The momentum shifted back to Bath following a yellow card issued to Exeter scrum-half Stephen Varney for a deliberate knock-on, which resulted in a penalty try. Ted Hill eventually scored to secure the win for Bath. Despite the loss, Exeter earned two bonus points from the match.
