Exeter head coach Steve Salvin says he is disappointed with his side’s second-half showing in the 24-14 Prem Women’s Rugby loss to Saracens.

Having led 14-10 at half-time, Exeter were pegged back as the former league champions scored 14 unanswered points after the break.

The loss was Exeter’s second of the season and leaves them third in the PWR table, eight points off leaders Saracens and second-placed Gloucester-Hartpury.

“I think we did lots of things to set us up to have the best chance of winning that game and we’ve just not been able to convert pressure into points,” Salvin told BBC Radio Devon.

“The positive bit is we got territory, we got field position, the frustrating bit is if you look at how clinical they were with their number of entries in comparison to us it’s pretty reflective of the outcome of the game.

“So it’s a tough one today, but that is part of the journey and something that you have to go through, so we’ll dust ourselves down and have another crack in the New Year.”

Exeter have a break until 1 February when they host Leicester Tigers in their next game.

“We’ll do a pretty significant review of these first seven games, particularly as we’ve got that little bit of time to do it,” added Salvin.

“We’ll try and work out how we push forward in the second half of the season.”
