    We're loving the niche reference to Sheffield Wednesday's former winger. The Owls, of course, are about to take part in the Championship play-off final, which you can follow by clicking here.

    Brilliant defence from Jack Nowell and Exeter to save what could have been a third try from Saracens.

    Alex Goode kicks in behind the Chiefs defence, and Nowell races across to gather the ball and somehow retain possession under pressure from Chris Wyles and Duncan Taylor.

    After the scrum is re-set a couple of times, Saracens get a penalty, which allows Owen Farrell to clear into the Exeter half.

    A chance for Saracens to regroup.

    "Will the real Exeter please stand up?

    "After a poor first half it's like a different team since the break.

    "Phill Dollman, Henry Slade and Jack Nowell look a lot more dangerous this half and Saracens have something to think about."

    They are almost the Leicester City of rugby this season. If Exeter score next, they'll think they can win this final.

    Exeter win another penalty at the line-out.

    It's very kickable again, but Gareth Steenson goes for the corner again and implores the crowd to make more noise.

    Can the Chiefs get a second try from the set-piece?

    Exeter have the momentum now and are on top.

    Another Sarries infringement in the Chiefs half allows them to get a line-out just outside the Saracens 22.

    The Exeter maul was set up excellently. This is a very fearsome pack of forwards, they call themselves 'the Wolfpack'. They have dealt a huge psychological blow to Saracens. They have a foothold now.

    Saracens have dropped off, their concentration has gone down somewhat. But I think this side is too good to crumble - we'll see a real uplift in their intensity now.

    Try (Yeandle, con Steenson)published at 53 mins

    That move paid off in style for the Chiefs!

    The line-out is gathered well and a rolling maul powers over in the corner.

    It's Jack Yeandle who is the man who touches down. Gareth Steenson adds the extras.

    Will this give Exeter some more belief?

    Exeter win a scrum penalty right in front of the Saracnes posts just outside the Sarries 22.

    Gareth Steenson decides not to kick for goal but go to the corner instead.

    A brave decision... but then the Chiefs fans find their voice.

    I think Saracens are starting to looking tired now. It's been a massive few weeks for them.

    Saracens roll on a few substitutes, with Schalk Brits replaced by Jamie George.

    Juan Figallo and Jackson Wray are also on for the defending champions.

    Exeter have improved since the break but are still yet to seriously threaten the Saracens 22 in the second period.

    They start to build phases though inside the Saracens half but then a knock-on kills their momentum.

    Exeter are being stretched but they are hanging in there. It's the right decision to change the front line, the lads going off have worked hard.

    Will Chudley takes a quick penalty after Sarries were pulled up by referee Wayne Barnes for not rolling away.

    Gareth Steenson looks to kick forward but his grubber goes out for a line-out to Saracens on halfway.

    Saracens threaten again from a line-out mid-way inside the Exeter half, creating an overlap.

    Quick hands from Duncan Taylor and Chris Wyles set up a good chance but Chris Ashton then knocks on a flicked pass from Owen Farrell.

    The Chiefs have just changed their entire front row, with Jack Yeandle, Alec Hepburn and Tomas Francis coming off the bench.

    Exeter have been getting their backs into the game more in this second half, and are making slow progress in their own half, with Jack Nowell enjoying a couple of runs at Saracens.

    Phil Dollman eventually bursts through the defensive line, but his offload only manages to find Sarries wing Chris Ashton when he was looking to find Don Armand out wide.

    Exeter make an impressive start to the second period, as Phil Dollman bursts into the Exeter 22 following some good play from the backs.

    However, Harry Williams decides to take Maro Itoje on, is tackled, and Itoje manages to win Sarries a penalty at the breakdown.

    The England international has been doing that all season, and that's his third turnover today.

    Owen Farrell clears to halfway from the resulting penalty.
