Exeter thump Gloucester; Leicester and Bath win in Cup
"Campbell Ridl's hat-trick helped Exeter Chiefs thrash Gloucester 48-14 in the Prem Rugby Cup at Sandy Park. The scores were level at the break, but the home side roared to a comprehensive victory in the second half. Ridl and Zack Wimbrush both saw tries converted by Harvey Skinner before the break, but Gloucester kept pace thanks to scores from Max Knight and Matias Almanno."
"Josh Manz crossed the line two minutes from time for Leicester before Orlando Bailey converted from the touchline to clinch victory at the StoneX Stadium. Earlier on, Alex Lozowski's opener put Sarries in control after 10 minutes when he collected Louie Johnston's searching kick and surge over the line before Johnston converted. Tommy Reffell responded almost immediately for the Tigers, breaking away from the maul to score and Bailey converted to level."
"But celebrations were short lived as Tayo Adegbemile bulldozed his way over to put Sarries back ahead, before Rotimi Segun added a third score. Reffell scored his second try of the match to reduce the arrears and make it 21-12, but the conversion was missed. Finn Theobald-Thomas cut the gap to just four points after half-time, but a number of blows were still to be traded."
Exeter Chiefs overran Gloucester 48-14 at Sandy Park as Campbell Ridl scored a hat-trick and teammates Will Goodrick-Clarke, Ethan Roots and Paul Brown-Bampo also crossed. Harvey Skinner converted multiple tries and added 13 points with the boot as Exeter pulled away in the second half after a level first half. Exeter strengthened their lead at the top of Pool A. Leicester Tigers rallied to beat Saracens 31-26 when Josh Manz scored two minutes from time and Orlando Bailey converted from the touchline. Bath defeated Bristol 33-24 to remain close to the Pool A leaders.
