Catch all the best bits again of our opening day fixture in the Gallagher Premiership between Exeter Chiefs and Leicester Tigers at Sandy Park.

After falling behind to two penalties from England international George Ford, Rob Baxter's side produced a stunning display to run in six tries.

Olly Woodburn and Sam Simmonds both scored converted tries before the break to give the Chiefs a 14-6 lead, before the home side added further touchdowns in the second half from Luke Cowan-Dickie, Matt Kvesic, Henry Slade and Ian Whitten.

Fly-half Gareth Steenson completed the scoring by landing five conversions.

Next up for the Chiefs is Saturday's clash away to Wasps at the Ricoh Arena (2pm).
