Exeter Chiefs have to grow up, says Rob Baxter despite six-try win
On the face of it, Exeter got 'back on the horse' after scoring six converted tries in the wake of their record 79-17 league defeat at Gloucester a fortnight earlier, which led to the departure of the recently appointed head coach Rob Hunter.
However, it was against a much weakened Northampton, who made 14 changes from the starting XV that triumphed so superbly in the Champions Cup semi-final at Leinster eight days before, and with six of Saints' match-day 23 making their Premiership debuts.
Chiefs made very hard work of it, and Baxter, who has now moved back into a frontline coaching

Schmidt frustrated and relieved after last-gasp win over Fiji
NEWCASTLE, Australia, July 6 (Reuters) - Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt felt a mixture of relief and frustration after Australia's last-gasp win over Fiji on Sunday, he said after their only match before the British & Irish Lions series. Captain Harry Wilson scored the winning try in the 79th minute, but Schmidt felt the Wallabies should have put the match to bed during a dominant first half before Fiji stormed back in the second. "It was certainly a relief when Harry got over and dotted it down, that's for sure," Schmidt told reporters. "(There was some) frustration to find ourselves in that situation after we built a nice lead early in the game. "I felt we got a bit loose, and they've got some fantastic broken-field runners. But that was no surprise to us because we knew they had them and we knew we'd have to be better connected than we were." The Wallabies had two tries disallowed for forward passes that Schmidt conceded were execution errors, but the New Zealander also queried some of the officiating of set-pieces. Schmidt said that the Wallabies will have to be more clinical against the Lions in the three-test series in late July and August. "Games are going to ebb and flow and when things are going your way, you've got to make sure that you make the most of those opportunities," he said. Schmidt will name his squad for the Lions series on Friday and thought he would have a better idea of the opposition the Wallabies would face after Andy Farrell names his squad for Wednesday's match against the ACT Brumbies. While he thought Fiji were still underestimated by many in rugby, Schmidt conceded that the Wallabies had not played well enough to go into the Lions series as anything close to favourites. "(But) there's a quiet resolve, and that quiet resolve, hopefully, over the three-match series can build to something," he said.

Women's Euro 2025 live: England ‘not good enough' as Lionesses react to France defeat
Holders England suffered a chastening start to their Euro 2025 campaign as France won 2-1 in Zurich to take charge of Group D along with the Netherlands. England could now find themselves out of the Euros on Wednesday if they lose to the Netherlands and France beat tournament debutants Wales, who lost 3-0 to the Dutch earlier in the day in the other match in Group D. Captain Leah Williamson said the Lionesses need to take 'responsibility' for their performance. "We lost the game with poor defending one-on-one,' Williamson said 'Not good enough with the ball, we weren't good enough.' England manager Sarina Wiegman also said that her team created their own problems in the defeat. 'Of course, I'm very disappointed,' said Wiegman. 'I think we started well. After that we created chances (for France) by playing short passes all the time. We were a bit sloppy too.' Leah Williamson: 'England were not good enough' Leah Williamson gave an honest assessment of England's performance as the Lionesses captain spoke to ITV after the 2-1 defeat to France. "We lost the game poor defending one v one. We learnt from those mistakes in fairness. Not good enough with the ball, we weren't good enough. We got better and took advantage of that but not enough in the end. "Sometimes it happens. The positive is I've not seen us like in terms of turning over the ball so much for a while now. Tomorrow, back on it and there were some really good stuff towards the end. "When you lose it and you're that expansive, it is tough. We hold ourselves to higher standards in our individual battles. "Everyone [needs to] take responsibly for themselves and have a look. Tomorrow we have new gameplan. Different places available and different opposition." Jamie Braidwood6 July 2025 09:34 England beaten by France in Euros opener Holders England suffered a chastening start to their Euro 2025 campaign as France won 2-1 in Zurich to take charge of Group D along with the Netherlands. In what was always going to be a tough opening game, The Lionesses thought they had made the perfect start to their title defence but Alessia Russo's 16th-minute rebound was disallowed by VAR after Beth Mead was marginally offside in the build-up. And England were then stunned by France's quickfire double before half time, with Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore scoring two goals in four minutes to leave England with a mountain to climb. Sarina Wiegman appeared to be furious at France's second, after England appealed for a foul on Russo in the build-up, but the goal survived a VAR review after Baltimore beat Lucy Bronze in the box to fire into the top corner. Despite failing to threaten France for much of the second half, Keira Walsh pulled one back in the 86th minute to give England some hope. Substitute Michelle Agyemeng came closest to finding an equaliser, but her shot was blocked as France survived a late scare. England could now find themselves out of the Euros on Wednesday if they lose to the Netherlands and France beat tournament debutants Wales, who lost 3-0 to the Dutch earlier in the day in the other match in Group D.
