Bath Rugby triumphed over Exeter Chiefs with a score of 33-26 in a thrilling Premiership clash. The game started dramatically as Exeter's Campbell Ridl received a red card just two minutes in, leaving his team at a disadvantage. Bath capitalized quickly, with Beno Obano scoring the first try, followed by three more tries from Barbeary, Carreras, and Lawrence, all converted by Finn Russell, giving Bath a commanding lead. Exeter fought back, scoring tries through Dweba, Woodburn, and Fisilau, with Henry Slade converting each effort to narrow the gap. In a late surge, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso added another try for Exeter, but Bath responded with a final try from Arthur Green. The home side's strong start ultimately secured their victory despite a spirited fight from the visitors. This match continued Bath's dominance over Exeter in recent encounters.
