Worcester Warriors 15-30 Exeter Chiefs
Exeter Chiefs came away with a convincing bonus point victory scoring four tries in total at Worcester.

In the second half Exeter pulled away and scored a further two tries through Waldrom and Armand. They remain in second place, two points behind league leaders Saracens, with the North Londoners travelling to Sandy Park next week.
Newcastle 26-19 Harlequins
Vickers sealed the win for the home side after an incredible come back. In a quiet first half both sides crossed once, but it was Quinns who started the brighter of the pair in the second half with tries through Ward and Walker. However the visitors were found guilty of resting on their laurels as they allowed the visitors to get back into the fixture one penalty at a time thanks to the boot of Andy Goode. With the crowd behind them, Falcons battled back and crashed over thanks to Rob Vickers in the last minute to finished off their come back and secure their second win of the season.
PRO12
Ospreys 20-20 Glasgow
Twenty points a piece, and a fair reflection of the match. Glasgow conceded their lead late in the game after a terrific, spirited Ospreya resurgence in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. The young Owen Watkin with a terrific performance in outside centre, whilst Davies remained cool and collected under pressure. Glasgow will be frustrated having led for such a long period but proud of their efforts in a difficult arena.
