Dominant Chiefs set up shot at the semis

This time last year the 21-year-old was playing in the National Leagues with Taunton Titans. Now, he’s wreaking havoc for both Exeter and England with deadly effect.

Quins found him unplayable as Chiefs kept alive their hopes of reaching the play-offs with this seven-try success.

Feyi-Waboso claimed a double, as did fly-half Harvey Skinner, while there were also tries for Dan John, Dafydd Jenkins and Henry Slade, who was sublime with the boot, adding a further 18 points.

Louis Lynagh’s late consolation ensured Quins headed home with a crucial bonus point, but that was all they could muster after a first half that had yielded tries for Marcus Smith, Tyrone Green and Alex Dombrandt.
