Overview
- Exeter won 27-26 at the Recreation Ground on Saturday after trailing 26-10 at half-time, booking a place in the Premiership final at Twickenham.
- Bath dominated the first half with four tries from Beno Obano, Thomas du Toit, Joe Cokanasiga and Henry Arundell while Finn Russell was absent and Santi Carreras started at fly-half.
- Exeter scored 17 unanswered second-half points with tries from Christ Tshiunza, Ben Hammersley, Greg Fisilau and Ethan Burger to complete the turnaround.
- Momentum shifted when Joe Cokanasiga was yellow-carded and Exeter's bench, plus Harvey Skinner's kicking and game control, turned the contest before Bath's final surge ended with Billy Sela held up over the line.
- The result eliminates reigning champions Bath, keeps Exeter's flawless semi-final record intact, and sets a Twickenham final against regular-season leaders Northampton next Saturday.
