Chiefs 57 Warriors 22

Storm Angus may have come and gone over the UK, but Worcester Warriors felt the full force of Exeter Chiefs as they were blown away with an eight try battering at Sandy Park.

Rob Baxter’s side were ruthless in their execution all game, producing an attacking display that will have others within the Aviva Premiership sitting up and taking note.

Last season’s beaten finalists have in recent weeks started to rediscover their mojo and this latest display underlined the strides they have made.

Jack Yeandle, Will Chudley and a Penalty Try helped set the tone in the first half, before the Chiefs upped the ante after the break with further scores from Olly Woodburn, Carl Rimmer, Thomas Waldrom, James Short and Ian Whitten.

Skipper Gareth Steenson (pictured) slotted six conversions and a penalty, while replacement Joe Simmonds also got in on the act scoring his first-ever points in the top flight.
In reply, Worcester claimed three tries of their own through Josh Adams, Wynand Olivier and Dewald Potgieter, but it was scant consolation on a day when the Chiefs ruled the roost.
Having returned to winning ways in the top flight with an impressive bonus point win at Newcastle Falcons last time out, Baxter saw little need to tinker with his winning formula, fielded an unchanged starting XV for the visit of the Midlanders.

The only changes came on the bench where fit-again duo Dave Ewers and Sam Hill were brought in for Ben White and Lachlan Turner.

The Warriors, meanwhile, handed first starts to Jack Singleton and Andrew Kitchener in their pack, while winger Bryce Heem was also recalled for his first start in six months and Josh Adams was given the nod on the other flank.
