FT: Northampton 8-3 Exeter
Northampton grind out the win and an important one at that for a side that was rocked by a Boxing Day loss the previously winless London Irish.
A losing bonus-point from their trip to Franklin's Gardens moves Exeter to within a point of Premiership leaders Saracens.
That is all from us today, but remember there is a plenty more to come over the weekend with four matches on Saturday, headlined by Leicester's trip to Sarries, then Worcester host Harlequins on Sunday.
