This had all the makings of a classic and it was Exeter who started their Champions Cup campaign with a bang as they edged an entertaining clash. First-half tries from forward pair Harry Williams and Jonny Hill gave Exeter a narrow 14-10 interval lead and a late effort from England hopeful Sam Simmonds sealed the win. Scotland fly-half Finn Russell booted the rest, but the visitors – who are unbeaten in the Pro14 this season – fell short. We got that and denied Glasgow getting anything out of game which gives us a great foothold in the pool. Russell nailed the touchline conversion for a 10-0 lead and at that stage Exeter, wearing their bright pink European kit, were struggling.
