Exeter 14-5 Racing 92
It's been a very loose opening quarter and Finn Russell is starting to play with fluidity.
The fly-half tries one of his trademark chip throughs, which he manages to claim, but his kick wide from the following phase is too long.
The best and worst of the Scottish maverick.

Speaking to BT Sport, Exeter head coach Rob Baxter says: "It was a fantastic start to get the two tries but I'm a little concerned with us defensively. We are almost moving after the event so it's definitely an area which we can tighten up in.
"Defences ultimately win games, so I would like us to move on a little bit from where we are now."

I don't think I've watched a final and thought so early on how are Racing going to win this?
It is their nature to play wide, wide, wide because that's Finn Russell's 'game but they are just playing into Exeter's hands.
You have to be on point and not make any errors. Exeter are so calm and collected and steady.
