Steenson on target in Exeter win

Gareth Steenson helped Exeter defeat Heineken Cup opponents Scarlets

Outside-half Gareth Steenson kicked 17 points as Exeter secured their first-ever Heineken Cup win with a 22-16 Pool Five success over Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets.

Scrum-half Haydn Thomas gave the visitors the perfect start with a try after five minutes and the Chiefs led throughout.

The Scarlets, who saw Wales fly-half Rhys Priestland carried from the field with an ankle injury in the second half, did grab back a late penalty try from a scrum but it was not enough as they crashed to a third straight European defeat.
