Overview
- Exeter’s 24-10 victory returned them to second place in the table, one point behind Northampton, with Leicester remaining fifth.
- Greg Fisilau scored the opener and 20-year-old Campbell Ridl claimed his first Premiership try with a chip-and-chase to build a 14-0 lead.
- Cameron Henderson pulled one back before half-time, but Henry Slade’s penalty after the break restored control for the hosts.
- Stephen Varney’s 72nd-minute try effectively settled the match while Tigers were down to 14 after a yellow card.
- Key TMO and disciplinary moments included a disallowed Harvey Skinner try for a Will Rigg push and yellow cards for Samuel Williams, Billy Searle and Rusi Tuima, while late knock-ons by Ridl and Will Goodrick-Clarke denied Exeter a bonus point that would have put them top.
