SALE SHARKS 6-10 EXETER CHIEFS
Just under 6 minutes to the first break in play, just over 30 to the first score. It was 43 until the only try, after Lachie Turner spotted a [suspiciously created] gap in a breakdown to canter over, and the night’s scoring was done on 58m after a de Klerk penalty. The remaining ‘action’ was mostly prolonged kick tennis and bouts of boshery. Exeter survived a late Townsend yellow to defy their 5-day turnaround with a handy away win.
