Exeter Chiefs Secure First Away Premiership Win

Chiefs Come from Behind to Beat Falcons at Kingston Park

In a thrilling encounter at Kingston Park, Exeter Chiefs showcased their resilience as they secured their first away win of the season in the Premiership. The match saw an early flurry of tries, with both teams displaying their attacking prowess.

The game started off explosively with three tries scored within the first eight minutes. Jamie Blamire and Matias Moroni found the tryline for Newcastle Falcons, cancelling out Immanuel Feyi-Waboso’s early effort for Exeter Chiefs.

However, it was in the final quarter that Exeter truly stepped up their game. Henry Slade made a significant impact by scoring a try and successfully converting another one kicked by prop Josh Iosefa-Scott who came on as a replacement.

The outcome could have been different if not for Slade missing an easy conversion and penalty opportunity earlier in the match. With Newcastle leading by just one point (14-13), there was a sense of uncertainty surrounding Exeter’s chances of victory.

Yet, keeping calm under pressure, Exeter managed to hold on to secure the win against bottom-placed Newcastle Falcons. This victory extends Newcastle’s winless streak in Premiership matches to ten games since March when they defeated Gloucester at home.

Squad Line-ups:

Newcastle: Penny; Radwan, Moroni, Hutchison, Stephens; Johnson, Elliott; Brantingham, Blamire, Bello, Hawkins, McDonald, Rubiolo, Pepper, Chick (capt).

Replacements: Byrne, Brocklebank, McCallum, van der Walt, Cross, O’Sullivan, Jennings, Brown.
