Premier 15s: Exeter Chiefs 24-21 Saracens - highlights

Exeter Chiefs coach Steve Salvin has been given a formal warning by the Rugby Football Union for his behaviour towards match officials.

But England and Saracens forward Poppy Cleall has been cleared over an alleged incident involving a member of coaching staff on Sunday, 11 June.

The two events occurred in the tunnel at Sandy Park during the Women's Premier 15s play-off semi-final.

No further disciplinary action will be taken against forwards coach Salvin.

Exeter won the match 24-21 after a late try from Eilidh Sinclair with two minutes left on the clock.

The RFU said: "There will be no action against Saracens player, Poppy Cleall, however, Exeter Chiefs coach, Steve Salvin, has been given a formal warning for his behaviour towards the match officials."

Exeter will face Gloucester-Hartpury in the final on Saturday at Kingsholm after the Cherry and Whites beat Bristol in their semi-final last Saturday.
