  2. Gloucester 24-12 Exeter

    Gloucester have the penalty and they are taking their time over a decision.

    Try - Gloucester-Hartpury 24-12 Exeter

    Liv McGoverne

    Now then.

    Exeter move the Gloucester defence one way and then the other before Liv McGoverne slides over in the corner.

    She cannot add the conversion but the Chiefs are showing plenty of fight.

  5. Sin-bin - Rachel Lund (Gloucester-Hartpury)

    Gloucester 24-7 Exeter

    Rachel Lund is shown a yellow card and she will spend 10 minutes in the bin.

    It means both sides have 14 players on the field, with Exeter's Claudia Macdonald still in the bin for a couple of minutes.

  6. Gloucester 24-7 Exeter

    Rachel Lund could be in trouble here for a high tackle on Rachel Johnson.

    The Gloucester centre is upright in the tackle and receives a bang on the chin for her troubles.

    Hope Rogers is over the line but the referee immediately decides that she is held up.

  14. try

    Converted Try - Gloucester-Hartpury 17-7 Exeter

    Sarah Beckett (con Emma Sing)

    She's only been back on the field a few minutes.

    Emma Sing makes her first conversion of the game and Gloucester stretch their lead to 10 points.

  15. Gloucester 10-7 Exeter

    Emma Sing misses the conversion but Gloucester retake the lead.

  18. Gloucester 5-7 Exeter

  20. Sin-bin - Sarah Beckett

    Gloucester 5-0 Exeter
