Exeter Chiefs secured a commanding 31-0 victory over Cardiff Rugby in the Challenge Cup. Bachuki Tchumbadze was the standout performer, scoring two tries in the opening 19 minutes and converting both, with Henry Slade adding another conversion shortly after. Cardiff's Rory Thornton received a yellow card, which further hampered their efforts to compete. The Chiefs continued to assert their dominance, with tries from Joseph Dweba and Julian Heaven before Paul Brown-Bampoe capped the scoring late in the match. Exeter's defensive line held firm throughout, leaving Cardiff unable to register any points. Multiple substitutions were made, but they did little to change the flow of the game. Overall, it was a comprehensive display by the Chiefs, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive solidity.
