Bath made it two wins out of two in the new Prem season as they gained a degree of revenge for losing to Exeter Chiefs in last season's semi-final. The two sides produced another thrilling game, exchanging 11 tries as the all-out attack approach continued.

The hosts scored four tries to have a bonus point by the break as Cameron Redpath, Bernard van der Linde, Dan du Preez and Finn Russell all scored to put them 26-10 ahead. Stephen Varney and Jack Yeandle got Exeter's first-half scores, before Josh Iosefa-Scott and two tries from Immanuel Feyi-Waboso turned the match on its head.

But Varney gave up a penalty try for a deliberate knock-on and Ted Hill's effort took the game beyond their opponents, although Harvey Skinner kicked a late penalty to ensure the visitors came away with two bonus points. Bath have a maximum 10 points from their two opening wins.
