Bath salvage late draw against Exeter Chiefs

Bath salvage late draw
A late penalty try gives Bath a draw with Exeter Chiefs.

A late penalty try helped Bath to a draw with Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park in the Aviva Premiership this afternoon.

A quiet first half saw Michael Claassens take advantage of a rare try-scoring opportunity, but his effort was cancelled out by two Gareth Steenson penalties.

Steenson continued his solid kicking display in the second half, guiding another two penalties between the posts.

Bath were awarded a penalty try five minutes from full time after Exeter collapsed the maul.

Tom Heathcote kicked an easy conversion to tie the scores late in the game.

Following Wasps' win over London Irish, Exeter drop to seventh in the table, while Bath remain eighth.
