Watch: Jordan Taufua FLATTENS Stuart Hogg to score a blinder
- 9121
Exeter Chiefs continued their recent dominance over Leicester Tigers with a seventeen point comeback victory at Welford Road on Saturday.
Exeter hit the front early but the Tigers levelled it with a brilliant passing move that saw Telusa Veainu step around the defence and find Adam Thompstone, whose overhand pass inside enabled Jonny May to dot down.
It was 19-7 to Leicester after 20 minutes when the Tigers scored a sublime try starting with a George Ford cross-field kick to Jordan Taufua, who steamrolled Stuart Hogg to score.

The Tigers would go on to lose the game with Jonny Hill touching down in the corner for Exeter’s fourth try that gave them a nine-point advantage as the Tigers failed to score a single point in the second half.
