BRENDAN GALLAGHER VERDICT

NOTHING has ever come easy for Exeter Chiefs in their 149 years, so only the most optimistic of Chiefs fans -watching remotely in their homes or Covid-regulated bars -would have anticipated anything other than a stomach-churning nail biter at Ashton Gate yesterday. And that’s what we duly witnessed.
In fact what transpired was one of the best European finals in its 25 year history. Yes, error strewn at times and occasionally erratic and random but also a pulsating, engrossing contest full of wonderful skills, monstrous hits and dramatic twists.
