Josh Hodge was in action for the Chiefs
Exeter Chiefs started the run in to the end of the Gallagher Premiership season with a bonus point win at Sandy Park against Newcastle Falcons in Round 13.
Falcons were quick out of the gate, running ball out to the wide channels within two minutes for Ben Stevenson to use his pace. Having bumped off the attempted tackle of Josh Hodge, the winger had a clear run-in for the opening try which his fly half, Brett Connon converted.
Chiefs responded by gradually moving ball down the field. Taking small yardage at a time, they began a campout in the Falcons’ 22.
The second half soon became somewhat turgid as the forwards were repeatedly called in for the harsh carries and crunching tackles in both team’s hunt for some much-needed yards.
As the clock ticked down, both sides battled for possession with the ball going back and forth.
