- Exeter 19-13 Wasps
- Joe Simmonds’ kicks are crucial in atrocious conditions
A difference between the Exeter of old and the team that eventually subdued Wasps to add the Premiership crown to their European one is their ability to improvise. Henry Slade regarded the try he scored in last season’s final as the scantest consolation because the Chiefs went on to blow an 11-point lead, but the one he fashioned against Wasps meant so much more at the end of a season in which, finally, they eclipsed Saracens.
