"Saracens went top of the Premiership Women's Rugby table with a seven-try 45-7 thrashing of third-placed Exeter Chiefs. England's Poppy Cleall crossed twice in the opening 28 minutes before her international team-mates Marlie Packer and Kelsey Clifford went over either side of half-time. Canadians Alysha Corrigan and Julia Omokhuale, and England Under-20s scrum-half Tori Sellors, also scored in the second half for the hosts. Exeter's Hope Rogers scored a consolation try in the 84th minute to ensure the Chiefs were not shut out."
"The result meant Harlequins' lead in the last play-off spot over fifth-placed Trailfinders was cut to one point after the London-based side thrashed bottom club Leicester Tigers earlier in the day. Trailfinders ran in six tries in their 40-19 victory as prop Cassandra Tuffnail crossed twice and full-back Niamh Gallagher kicked 10 points to add to her first-half try. The result extended Leicester's losing start to the season to 10 matches."
