- Exeter 19-22 London Irish
- Agustín Creevy scores decisive third try in 70th minute
By the time the biggest month in Exeter’s history is over few will remember this minor blemish on their record. Bigger contests, with bigger prizes at stake, loom in the not-so-distant future and the starting XV who saw off Toulouse last Saturday were all to be found seated in the stands. Few visitors depart Devon victorious these days even so, and Irish will be mightily relieved to have snaffled their first Premiership win in 10 attempts.
The Exiles were indebted to Agustín Creevy, for so long a talisman for his native Argentina, for the 70th-minute converted try which saw off the below-strength European finalists. The Chiefs have already guaranteed themselves first place in the regular season and a home semi-final but they will still be disappointed to have suffered just their third home loss of the season and their second in a row in the league.
