Leinster go down with honour after Exeter gunfight

Exeter Chiefs 20 Leinster 29

Joe Schmidt’s men died with their boots on in Devon, digging out a win and four tries deep in Indian territory with a display that offers real hope of further European success via the Amlin route and beyond the summer.

This was rugby’s version of the Gunfight at the OK Corral: a no-holds barred, to-hell-with-convention game of rugby featuring a Chiefs side with nothing to lose and an opponent that knew it had to go for broke.
