Exeter keep themselves in contention for the Premiership play-offs with a bonus point 38-17 win over Gloucester.
Exeter kept themselves in contention for the Premiership play-offs with a bonus point 38-17 win over Gloucester to close the gap to the top four.
Exeter stay seventh but closed the gap to fourth-placed Bristol to four points, with two games left to play.The Chiefs knew anything but a bonus point win would realistically mean they missed the play-offs for the second campaign running and they took advantage of Gloucester’s ill-discipline during the opening 20 minutes.
But for the second time an Exeter error with a loose line-out throw handed Gloucester an opening and Clement ran through a gap to pull another back right on half-time. Having seen winger Jake Morris miss out on a try earlier due to a foot in touch, Gloucester came within inches again as Skinner recovered brilliantly to deny Stephen Varney in sight of the try-line.
