Steenson & Armand Shine in Exeter Win
Exeter maintained their unbeaten start to the 2018/19 Premiership season with a 39-24 away victory over Bath.
Here is a look at your top performers from the match.
Gareth Steenson - Exeter Chiefs
A milestone match for the Exeter skipper as he notched up 1500 Premiership points by slotting six kicks from seven attempts and set up a try with a beautifully weighted grubber kick in a man of the match performance.

Don Armand - Exeter Chiefs
Another strong performance by the England flanker after his exclusion from the England training squad.
He had numerous strong carries and was a constant physical presence throughout with some big hits in defence.
His efforts were rewarded with a try in the corner after showing great hands to gather the ball and finish like a winger.
Semesa Rokoduguni - Bath Rugby
Despite picking up a yellow card always threatened the Exeter defence with some powerful runs and offloading ability. Also superb in the kick chase particularly from restarts.
Santiago Cordero - Exeter Chiefs
The Argentine was a constant threat in attack with ball in hand and had some fine runs showing a great pace and a superb step.
The speedy pocket rocket came close to score a stellar try in the second half after he carved through the Bath defence but was dragged down just 5 metres short.
Zach Mercer - Bath Rugby
A consistent performer for Bath as he continues to push for an England test debut. He had some robust carries and an incredible work rate, impressing for a losing side.
