Damian Welch’s last-gasp try snatched a dramatic draw for Exeter Chiefs in an enthralling derby with Gloucester at Sandy Park.
With less than a minute remaining, Gloucester’s hopes of a second Aviva Premiership victory of the season were dashed when the Chiefs mauled their way over in the left-hand corner to tie the scores at 27-27.
Even then Rob Baxter’s side could have won it at the death, but the normally deadly Gareth Steenson was unable to land the tricky conversion from wide on the touchline.
Following a disappointing 15-6 defeat at the hands of Bath Rugby...
Rob Baxter has warned his Exeter Chiefs side to prepare for battle ahead of tomorrow night’s Westcountry derby with Bristol in Round Four of this season’s Aviva Premiership (7:45pm).

The action-packed programme was centred around team-building and involved an array of timed challenges; from tractor pulling, dismantling and rebuilding a canon, to raft racing and a multi-terrain log carry.
