Newcastle Falcons inflicted a first defeat on champions Exeter since September yesterday, with a marvellous display at Kingston Park. The Chiefs were on a seven-match unbeaten run, but were downed thanks to three first-half Falcons tries.

Th win was Newcastle’s sixth successive win and has helped move them to sixth in the Aviva Premiership. Boss Dean Richards credits Leinster’s Champions Cup wins over Exeter for showing them the way.

“I was delighted with the first half and thought we were magnificent as we dogged it out in the second,” said Richards.

“They’re a quality side but we knocked them back time and time again. Leinster showed us the way and we were defensively relentless, constantly putting our bodies on the line.”

The highlight of the game came early in the first-half, with winger Sinoti Sinoti scoring a contender for try of the season. The Samoan international left the Exeter defence for dead with one of the greatest side-steps we’ve ever seen on a rugby pitch. The king of the step Jason Robinson even gave Sinoti his due credit!
