Exeter edge Sale in gritty clash to go three from three
Exeter Chiefs continued their impressive start to this season's Champions Cup as they edged Sale Sharks 22-20 at the AJ Bell Stadium on Sunday.

For Sale they crossed through Akker van der Merwe (2) but this loss in Salford means they remain in third place in the pool, eight points off Exeter.
