Several stars of the Guinness Six Nations team stood out - Jonny Gray, Alec Hepburn, Sam Simmonds, Ollie Devoto, and Stuart Hogg all played for the Chiefs - but champion veteran Joe Marler won the round of applause from the game's best player in the great Quins.

The Londoners were given a breathless penalty attempt from the start, sending Jonny Hill into the penalty area, but on his return, Hill's second-row partner helped Gray equalize 7-7.

After stalwart Gray Scottish goal was determined, the momentum of the game remained in Exeter's favor - he played 30 times for the Guinness Six Nations-Hepburn, doubling their advantage within half an hour.

When Marcus Smith was shown a yellow card on an attempt by Hepburn, Quins was temporarily reduced to 14 men, but Wilco Louw narrowed the gap to two points within two minutes of the break.

Alex Dombrandt had time to catch Smith's agile pass and score before the whistle sounded, giving Harlequins a 19-14 lead at halftime.

Billy Millard's players started where they left off after a break with Andre Esterhuizen, trying to extend their lead, but after a while it was inevitable. Exeter's response began in full swing.

Sam Simmonds of the British and Irish Lions - played four games for England during the 2018 Guinness Six Nations - before Devoto scored in the 54th minute to put the Devonians back in the lead, finishing the 21st attempt in the Premiership.

Joe Simmonds' penalty gave the Chiefs 5 points, but Louis Lynagh's two conversion points put the Harlequins back on track for success.

Hogg, who has won the Guinness Six Nations Championship twice, brought comfort to the Chiefs, but it turns out Quins got the coveted trophy before it was too late.

In France, Thomas Ramos helped Toulouse beat La Rochelle 18-8 on 4 penalties and a drop into the top 14 finals, stealing the spotlight this is the Heineken champion this season a repeat of the cup.

Ramos, coming off the bench, kicked two penalties on either side of 2020 Guinness Six Nations Championship champion Antoine Dupont's goal, and Cheslin Kolbe's other goal was 12-0.

Dany Priso crossed La Rochelle in the second half, but Toulouse went on to win with an easy winner to take their 21st French Championship.
