| Newcastle (5) 5 |
| Try: Carreras |
Exeter moved back into the play-off places after a bonus-point Premiership win over Newcastle at Sandy Park.
Newcastle dominated the first-half territory, but only had Mateo Carreras' try to show for it as Dan Frost's reply levelled the scores at the break.
A scrappy second half improved when Jack Nowell put Exeter ahead, despite the Chiefs being down to 14 men.
Exeter got a penalty try soon after before Sam Simmonds went over with nine minutes left to seal a bonus point.
The five-point win sends Exeter into fourth place in the Premiership, above Leicester on points difference, while Newcastle remain second-from-bottom.
