The rampaging Chiefs scored seven tries
It was a successful Saturday (March 9) afternoon for Susie Appleby’s Chiefs Women as they secured a bonus-point win against Loughborough Lightning at Sandy Park.
A standout day from the pack alongside pace and precision from the backs helped Chiefs score seven tries to Lightning’s one.
Good pressure from Chiefs in the Lightning half set the standard early on as the Loughborough side looked rattled, forced to scramble their defence on a number of occasions.
Following a tough trip to Gloucester-Hartpury last weekend, this was the bounce-back performance Chiefs needed in order to refocus and push-on into a prolonged period of time without a game as the women’s international window opens.
Full-time: Chiefs Women 43 – Lightning 7
