Ben Loader also scores two tries in bonus-point win.

Gloucester are determined to make progress up the Prem table this season and here was a promising first step. The Cherry and Whites had a bonus point on the board before half-time on a breezy afternoon in Devon and had more than enough in the tank to build on a 14-point interval lead and secure a morale-boosting early away victory.

Considering they claimed just one league win on the road in the whole of the 2025-26 campaign this seven-try fusillade was a big plus, spearheaded by their new Welsh reinforcements Dewi Lake and Jac Morgan. Lake was the deserved player of the match, scoring two tries and adding to Gloucester’s efforts in both the set pieces and the maul.

In addition to a couple of tries for left wing Ben Loader there was more cohesion and focus to Gloucester’s game, not always consistently evident on their travels in recent seasons. In contrast to the south-west’s depleted reservoirs, this newly arrived Lake is already making a difference to Gloucester’s level.

Again, there seemed little danger when Will Joseph received the ball wide on the right around the halfway line, only for the younger brother of the former England centre Jonathan to score a weaving solo try to help push Gloucester out to a 20-point lead.

With Freddie Thomas sent to the sin-bin, though, Gloucester had to survive the final 10 minutes with only 14 men and Exeter’s replacement hooker, Louie Gulley, collected a try on his Prem debut to secure a try bonus point.
