It would have been theft, but loads of watchers are convinced we got it down at least twice at the end.
What's annoying is no review.
It didn't change the result, but JoCo's yelllow was totally wrong - the officals all season have got those accidental knock ons wrong. He's clearly trying to knock it up to then regather.
Also the TMO calling a knock on from the jump that wasn;t, or certainly wouldn't have been given if it was a pass.

As I say, it would have been robbery if Bath had nicked it at the end, but as a fan, you don't care if that happens!

Exeter have put a really impressive run together in the last 4/5 weeks

I was asleep at the start of the move but in all the phases I saw I never once saw Bath players even appeal for a try (there were a few times I thought they must have been over the line but always short) so I’m guessing they never thought they’d scored. The ref usually has the best view in that situation and it’s rare for them to not get it checked if they have any doubt at all.

The thing I find most odd is how in those situations, when it’s all or nothing, the defending side is able to avoid giving penalties whereas at any other time someone will commit an offence.

Bath scored at least twice at the end, very poor by officals not to check any of the 3 potential groundings.

Bath dominated the first hald, Exeter changed their front row early in the second and they turned it round.

Congrats to Exeter, superb defence at the end and not their fault the TMO would jump in.

Didn't look like they scored from here 🙄
