Exeter led 17-3 at one stage in an eventful 1st half with Leinster losing both Jonathan Sexton and Ross Byrne to head injury assessments, and Cian Healy and Scott Fardy to yellow cards.

Byrne returned to the field but Sexton has missed the remainder of the game.

Ica Nacewa slotted over four straight penalties before Luke McGrath then scored Leinster's first try of the game to give them the lead.

It finished Leinster 22 The Chiefs 17.

The fans certainly enjoyed the occasion...
