Exeter led 14-10 at the break after a competitive first half where Glasgow gave as good as they got from the Premiership side.

Chiefs soon cancelled out Ross Thompson’s early penalty with two quick tries. The first from O’Flaherty who cut inside and took Henry Slade’s pass to cross the line. The second, a close-range effort from Sam Simmonds.

Further tries from Simmonds, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Jack Nowell and Dave Ewers gave Chiefs a scoreline to be proud of.
