HT: Exeter 21-0 Leicester
Bit of Mariah blasting out at Sandy Park. All I Want For Christmas and all that.
Leicester first back out onto the pitch... I doubt they'll be getting what they want for Christmas from Richard Cockerill after that first 40...

HT: Exeter 21-0 Leicester
Thomas Waldrom's uncanny knack of crashing over the stripe in Exeter colours comes as no surprise to his boss Rob Baxter.
Baxter brought the 33-year-old to Sandy Park in 2014, and been rewarded for that decision with some terrific performances... not mention tries.
Read his thoughts here.

Exeter 21-0 Leicester
Comprehensively done by Exeter in that first-half. Three tries, no points conceded.
Thomas Waldrom enjoyed a terrific first 40 against his old club with two scores - up to EIGHT for the season.
As for Leicester... eeek. What will Richard Cockerill have to say to his players? Wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall there. Paint peeling stuff you'd imagine!
The Premiership's bully boys of old are being bullied themselves.

Wasps 40-26 Bath
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's been a while since Wasps' fourth try, and they're on the hunt for a fifth before the hooter.
They're inside the Bath 22 but we're coming back for the penalty after a high-tackle from Tom Ellis.
Wasps kick to the corner and they've got just under two minutes to cross the whitewash...
PENALTY TRY (con Steenson)published at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 24 December 2016
Exeter 21-0 Leicester
Image source, Getty ImagesExeter pounding away at the Leicester line once again and when the ball was shifted wide with the line in sight, a desperate Graham Kitchener knocked it on to stop the ball reaching the open Ollie Woodburn.
Kitchener went off for 10, and from the TMO review, Exeter were awarded the penalty try.
No problem for Gareth Steenson. 21 unanswered points. Demolition job.

Things have turned a bit scrappy at the Ricoh, but after today's efforts, who can blame them?
There are some tired bodies out there in a game which has featured eight tries so far!

Either way, his side are doing the business for him.

Exeter 14-0 Leicester
Tomas Francis just dominated Ellis Genge there to win a penalty at the scrum. That's the kind of thing that never happened to Leicester.
These must be tough times for Tigers fans. Exeter fans are enjoying seeing their team not just playing like the elite, but being the elite.
Penalty (Gopperth)published at 15:29 Greenwich Mean Time 24 December 2016

But it's that man again. Jimmy Gopperth adds three more points as we enter the final quarter of the match.
Wasps, who have already secured the try bonus-point, will just be trying to deny Bath a losing bonus point now.
