Exeter beat reigning champions Bath as Harlequins crush Newcastle

Reigning champions Bath missed the opportunity to go to the top of the Gallagher Prem table as Exeter took a huge step towards an end of season play-off spot with a deserved bonus-point victory at Sandy Park.

A disjointed Bath side had no answers to a determined effort from the spirited Chiefs in the second half, who were helped by a red card for Quinn Roux and a yellow one for Tom de Glanville on the way to a 35-12 success.
