Saints started the match much the better side and after nine minutes last weekend’s try-scorer Juarno Augstus ploughed through the middle of the pitch to tee up on-rushing second-row Coles to score the opener.<\/p>\n
Player of the match Smith added the extras before two penalties meant Saints raced into a 13-point lead before the half-hour mark.<\/p>\n
Chiefs fly-half Harvey Skinner then found a yard to dart through the Saints defence and found Woodburn, who had the simplest of tasks to score under the posts.<\/p>\n
In the second half, Exeter’s stand-out player, Josh Hodge, found his range with the boot wonderfully.<\/p>\n
His monster kick from just over halfway clipped the inside of the right upright to reduce the arrears to three points.<\/p>\n
The visitors were then dealt a hammer blow when Munga charged down scrum-half Sam Maunder’s attempted box kick to crash over the whitewash on his 50th Premiership appearance.<\/p>\n
Four minutes later, a pinpoint kick from the impressive George Furbank found Hutchinson on the left wing and he finished expertly to score the try of the match.<\/p>\n
Smith, who ended six from six with the boot, then put Saints 20 points clear with a well-taken drop goal after the hour mark.<\/p>\n
Feyi-Waboso then scored his first try with 11 minutes remaining after it was adjudged Woodburn had not deliberately knocked the ball on, following a lengthy TMO review which showed a fingertip touch from Saints replacement Tom West before it got to the Chiefs winger.<\/p>\n
With four minutes left, Hutchinson was sent to the sin-bin for a high tackle on Woodburn and moments later substitute Tom Cairns did brilliantly to find Feyi-Waboso to score his second and reduce the deficit to just six.<\/p>\n
The comeback proved to be too little too late for the Chiefs, however, as the hosts held on to claim a confidence-building victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
