Gloucester edged Exeter 34‑31 at Kingsholm, securing a bonus‑point win that lifts their Champions Cup hopes. Max Llewellyn and Will Trenholm each crossed the line twice, while Tomos Williams added a third try. George Barton’s three conversions and a penalty sealed the margin.

Exeter, despite a 54‑second opener, fell short after a red card for Ethan Roots and a sin‑bin for Dane Bieuler. The Chiefs still sit fourth in the table, one point above Bristol thanks to two losing bonus points.

The result leaves Gloucester three points behind the leaders but keeps them within striking distance of a play‑off spot. With the season’s final games looming, the win injects fresh momentum into their campaign and keeps their Champions Cup ambition alive.

Exeter’s defeat underscores the importance of discipline and set‑piece execution in the Premiership’s final stretch, while Gloucester’s performance demonstrates that consistency can overturn form book expectations.
