Exeter Chiefs staged a remarkable comeback against Bath at Sandy Park, securing a place in the Investec Champions Cup quarter-finals.
Despite facing a challenging wind and an early injury to Finn Russell, Bath took a 12-7 lead at halftime with tries from Thomas du Toit and Ted Hill. Despite Exeter dominating territory in the first half, they only managed one score by Ross Vintcent.
However, Exeter found their rhythm in the second half, scoring crucial tries through Greg Fisilau and Ethan Roots. This propelled them to victory and earned them a spot in the quarter-finals. Looking ahead, Rob Baxter’s team awaits the winner between Toulouse and Racing 92 for their next match.
A victory for Racing, who struggled in the pool stages, would grant Exeter a home tie, avoiding a daunting trip to face the formidable Toulouse, who entered the knockout stages as top seeds after a flawless performance in the pool matches.
