Fly-half Henry Slade added the only points of the first half, kicking two penalties for the hosts.

Exeter extended their lead at the start of the second half, with Phil Dollman sprinting over for the first try of the match.

The visitors rarely threatened the Chiefs try line, and the home side were able to pull further ahead through an Ian Whitten effort, despite Ben White being in the sin bin.

The Exiles pushed hard as they tried to get on the board late on, but a mistake from Darren Allinson saw him finish the game in the sin bin, leaving his team a player short for the final three minutes.
