    Wasps deserve huge credit, obviously they've been under pressure with their squad because of Covid but the 23 who took the field today gave it everything and for one brief moment they had one hand on the trophy.

    A tough gig to referee this final in these conditions but a fine job nonetheless.

    In these Covid-19 times, there won't be too much hanging around until the trophy is presented.

    This Exeter squad are a quality outfit.

    The dynasty, the legacy that this team can create for the next two or three years could easily compete with the Wasps from the noughties and the Leicester of the nineties.

    They are a poster team for the Premiership right now and I'm thrilled to bits for them because they are a team you want to support and do well because of their attitude, there isn't a jealousy around how they do it.

    It's a hard grafting mentality and it's a pleasure to watch.

    Disappointment and anguish etched on the faces of all the Wasps players after coming so close.

    What an effort from Lee Blackett's side when you consider their disrupted build up to this final.

    They almost came within metres of winning it too.

    Exeter and England centre Henry Slade is named man of the match and it's hard to argue with that decision.

    A clinical display from the number 13 with a first-half try and some very pivotal kicks to touch.

    Exeter clear to within 15 metres of the halfway line for their line-out.

    How much time will they now eat up that remains as they work through the phases?

    Another Exeter penalty as Wasps illegally collapse the maul.

    That could well be game up.
