    Superb lines of running, very simple, lots of decoys and angles. However, a little bit too easy to run through that midfield.

    They're in again.

    What a time to score your first try of the season.

    Ollie Devoto with the step, the break and then the power before a wonderful offload to full-back Phil Dollman who has the strength to hold off Christian Wade and score.

    Another clean strike by Gareth Steenson adds another two.

    While Wasps prop Phil Swainston gets some treatment and time is off, enjoy this.

    Is there a more glorious sight in rugby union than a sold-out Twickenham?

    Small Man Peaky: Both teams look nervous. Nowell has to start for Lions. Still staggered Launchbury isn't going to NZ, he's truly world class.

    Wasps 3-7 Exeter

    I've said this already today but another scrum, another Exeter penalty - they're well on top when they pack down.

    Chiefs with the line-out five metres from the Wasps 22 which is eventually stopped as referee JP Doyle thought he had spotted a head injury.

    There is just something not quite right about Wasps at the moment, nothing seems to be clicking and they're not fluent in anything they do.

    However, Nathan Hughes has been checked and assessed and is back on the pitch - despite that time off, he's still the top tackler on the pitch with eight so far.

    It is nerves. At the moment, Wasps look too eager. They look like they want to play from everywhere. It's a final.

    Stick to the way you're going to play in the first 30 minutes. They've unraveled things a bit and are over-complicating it.

    Wasps 3-7 Exeter

    The Exeter line spead in defence is very, very impressive.

    First Geoff Parling and then Ian Whitten fly up and make big hits - with centre Whitten then helping turn the ball over.

    The white-shirted Chiefs have the ball just outside the Wasps 22.

    This final was billed as possibly being the most exciting ever, and the first big decision of the afternoon backs that up.

    Exeter won a penalty which Gareth Steenson could easily have kicked over for three points, but the Irishman instead kicked to the corner, showing real intent.

    Oh dear Jimmy Gopperth.

    The man crowned the best player in the country gets caught in two minds in open play whether to kick or pass and bizarrely knocks the ball on.

    The men from Coventry haven't really settled at all so far.

    Nathan Hughes is off for Wasps as he gets a head injury assessment, Guy Thompson on for him.

    A mistake from Exeter scrum-half Stuart Townsend. He kicks straight into touch from just inside his own 22 and Wasps have an attacking line-out.

  12. Nowell 'a shining light'published at 19 mins

    Jack Nowell does look a different class. He's a shining light. Great back peel and dummy.

    They're so well coached there Exeter, to sell that move everyone has to be on message.

    Everyone has to execute and they did that there. So well organised.

  13. Penalty (Gopperth)published at 18 mins

    Wasps 3-7 Exeter

    The Premiership's top points scorer does not miss kicks from in front of the posts.

    Jimmy Gopperth slots an easy kick to get Wasps' afternoon off and running.

    Wasps 0-7 Exeter

    Oh, and there is the Wasps you know with ball in hand.

    Jimmy Gopperth with another half break, gives it to Josh Bassett who then offloads to Dan Robson as black and gold shirts get to within five metres.

    An offside stops the flow and they will go for the sticks.

    Wasps with ball in hand something they haven't had too much of so far this afternoon.

    What can this talented back-line create?

    Breakthrough!

    Well I said forwards at line-out time, but what a set-piece move this is.

    Coming back on the angle, England and Lions wing Jack Nowell takes the ball at pace off the back of the line-out from Luke Cowan-Dickie steps away and just about stretches over for the first score to Chiefs.

    Gareth Steenson nails a tricky conversion.

    Wasps 0-0 Exeter

    Another scrum, another Exeter penalty.

    This is a few metres inside the Wasp half but again all Gareth Steenson is interested in is nudging it down the touchline for the line-out.

    The Chiefs have scored 14 tries from their forwards at line-out time.

    Wasps 0-0 Exeter

    England and Wasps number eight Nathan Hughes is a one-man defensive wrecking ball.

    Another massive hit in the centre of the pitch to stop an Exeter attack off the back of a line-out.

  19. Postpublished at 10 mins

    Wasps 0-0 Exeter

    First Elliot Daly and then Jimmy Gopperth break the Exeter defensive line, but the men from Devon do just about enough in their scrambling defence before Josh Bassett makes a mistake to gift the ball back to the Chiefs.

    Christian WadeImage source, .

    Not since Richmond's Dominic Chapman 20 years ago has a player reached 17 tries in one season.

    Despite topping the tries scored and defenders beaten charts, Christian Wade will have his feet up this summer as he's not required by either England or the Lions.
