Rob Baxter admitted his emotions were “all over the place” after Exeter’s thrilling Heineken Champions Cup final victory against Racing 92. There was even a pause before the final whistle following Simmonds’ penalty as officials checked whether there was any time left to still be played, but referee Nigel Owens blew and Exeter could celebrate. “My emotions are all over the place, really,” Exeter rugby director Baxter said. “It kind of wasn’t an Exeter Chiefs type of game, yet we ended up winning it. Exeter have lost three of the last four Premiership finals, but they are now 80 minutes away from cleaning up in England and Europe this season.
