Exeter Chiefs suffer league set back

Exeter Chiefs 9 Saracens 16

Exeter Chiefs may have huffed and puffed, but ultimately they could not blow over Aviva Premiership leaders Saracens in a hard fought encounter at Sandy Park.

However second-half goals by Graham Cummins and Andrew Tutte confirmed victory for Dale and condemned the Grecians to a long journey back to the West Country.

Grecians manager Paul Tisdale made two changes to the starting XI...
