Exeter Chiefs secured a 31-23 victory over Saracens in a closely contested match at Sandy Park. The Chiefs struck first with a try from Innard in the ninth minute, setting the tone early.

Harvey Skinner's kicking was instrumental for the Chiefs, converting all but one of their tries. Overall, Exeter's discipline and scoring efficiency proved decisive in their hard-fought win.
