SALE boss Steve Diamond reckoned his side could have won after going 19-5 up in the first half.
He admitted: “I’m a bit disappointed by the result but we had a blip against Northampton three weeks ago when we didn’t turn up so I expected a performance today and we delivered really.
“We could have got the win but I’m reasonably happy with a bonus point to be honest.”
He acknowledged that Luke Cowan-Dickie’s try just before half-time, which cut Exeter’s deficit to seven points after playing into the strong wind was the turning point.
