Thomas Waldrom, the Exeter try-scorer, has been in high praise of his Chiefs teammates after smashed down Harlequins in the prestigious Aviva Premiership.
Waldrom helped his team with a good 19-6 lead during interval. The visitor team cut down the deficit score to 6 points in the early half of the 2nd phase as winger Tikirotuma (Asaeli) went for converted try. Exeter boys responded really well- even with Nowell (Jack) in sin bin, slipper Yeandle (Jack) crashed over & then centre Slade (Henry) finished off the break to swing the home team to their 2nd league triumph at home this year.
What pleased Waldrom the most was the very valor by which the Exeter boys reacted when Harlequins seemed progressive in 2nd half.”We did drop off 2 tackles but then the great work that we do for covering one another’s back shows”, noted the Exeter try-scorer.
“Listening to Robs (coaches Hunter & Baxter) & Ali, everybody is actually working for one another- that is something that can’t be taught & that is really pleasing. The boys scored just when we needed to bounce back in the match & I felt that we came up with a great performance. We controlled the field position & got whatever we were looking for in the end.”
“We have been working really hard for last 4 weeks. We were really close against the Tigers, we’re close to Gloucester & it was a fantastic performance today. Now, we need to proceed with this confidence further.”
Exeter got back to 4th position in Premiership with its latest win against Harlequins. With 3 triumphs out of 4 this term, the Chiefs are surely looking forward to gather another win against Newcastle soon.
“We need to follow up our wins”, Thomas added in.
