Exeter Chiefs ended their Aviva Premiership campaign on a high and secured their place in next season’s Heineken Cup in the process with a nailbiting 40-39 victory over Gloucester Rugby at Sandy Park. Both sides accepted the invitation to cut loose on firm ground with six tries in the first half alone, and eight in total. But Exeter got their noses back in front in the dying moments with a Gareth Steenson penalty to claim sixth place in the table against their West Country opponents, who already had fifth in the bag and nothing riding on victory.
