Exeter Chiefs rugby performance

Overview

The Exeter Chiefs have maintained a competitive form through their pre-season and early Premiership Rugby campaign.

In a pre-season friendly at Cardiff Arms Park, the Chiefs overcame heavy rain and an early deficit to defeat Cardiff Rugby 33-28. Following these preparations, the Chiefs transitioned into their Premiership Rugby Cup campaign, defeating the Bristol Bears 45-21 at Sandy Park, supported by a first-half hat-trick from winger Olly Woodburn.

In their Premiership Rugby season, the Chiefs faced a high-scoring defeat against Bath, losing 40-34 at The Rec. This West Country derby saw 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.

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. However, 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, moving them to the top of the Gallagher Premiership table. Despite the loss, Exeter earned two bonus points.
