With a 24-12 victory over Trailfinders, the Chiefs of Exeter opened their Premiership Women’s Rugby season with a dominant first-half performance.
After 13 minutes, Liv McGoverne gave Exeter a start, and after that, McGoverne successfully converted after grabbing a loose ball from Hope Rogers.
Gabriella Nigrelli delivered her team’s third try with the help of Maisy Allen’s excellent quick attack, with McGoverne adding the extras to make it 19-0 at the break.
In the 49th minute, McGoverne’s team scored a looping pass to England’s Claudia Moloney-MacDonald, who had already led 24-0.
Kate Zackary gave the hosts hope when she saw a gap and dived over in the 54th minute, with Meg Jones scoring. Trailfinders appeared to be firmly out of the picture.
However, their encouraging second-half performance was marred by Georgia Ponsonby’s error in slanting out wide in a packed area to reduce the deficit. They only managed five more points though.
On Saturday, Sale Sharks take on Leicester Tigers at 19:00 BST.

Dianne Buswell has taken to social media to hit back at trolls who said they “can’t watch a pregnant girl dance”. The professional dancer shared a clip to her Instagram page where she defiantly danced and did a cartwheel for the camera.
For all those who complain that pregnant girls can’t watch them dance, the mum-to-be wrote at the top of the video: “! When I hear the beat, I can’t stop thinking.
She then continued to say the same in the caption, “I just can’t help it when I hear the beat,” as well as adding a number of emojis, including one for a pregnant woman. The star’s friends and fans posted support messages in the comments.

It Takes Two host Fleur East shared a collection of clapping hands emojis, while fellow Strictly star Kai Widdrington wrote: “Tell ’em di.”
I looove this, a fan said. You’re still dancing, in my opinion, is so cool! shows how inclusive dance can be even more! always continue to dance.
Another phrased, “As a midwif, I applaud you and loved watching you dance!!” Dianne has since reacted furiously to claims that Stefan Dennis’ abrupt departure from the program was a deliberate “set up” and that Dianne has reacted to this.
After reporting that he had torn a muscle in his calf, Neighbours actor Stefan was forced to leave the famed dance program this week. However, some online critics claimed the pair had planned to leave the competition early as a result of her pregnancy.
Dianne met on the show and her partner, Joe Sugg, who was a former Strictly contestant. They are expecting their first child. Then, she responded to a Strictly viewer with one response on her Instagram Stories.
I saw this coming, to be honest. Diane couldn’t really go on, especially as she grew. God bless her. She is one of my favorite dancers, and I regret to say that, but I believe this was planned to protect her and the baby. (sic)”.
Dianne responded, “I sound like a broken record, but I’m seeing a little of this floating around again!” Why should I, I know that some people say to ignore it?
“I’ll speak up,” I promise. I would love to continue dancing this week, next week, and so forth and forth. I actually have more energy this year than I did last year.

“Please respect Stefan, who is extremely upset that he won’t be able to dance, and stop accepting that this is a set-up!” because, “believe me, we would if we could”!
Lilly Ghalichi, a reality star, was shocked when Michelle Obama reached out to her personally and helped her build her beauty empire and make her products popular.

Lash king Lilly Ghalichi claims she has worked with some of the world’s most well-known faces.
Her lashes are worn by everyone from pop superstars Taylor Swift, Beyonce and Adele to America’s former First Lady Michelle Obama. But Lilly Ghalichi, 42, who started the luxury lash brand Lilly Lashes with her sister 16 years ago, is relatively unknown this side of the pond.
The mother-of-two first appeared in the media in 2012 while participating in Bravo’s Shahs of Sunset for two seasons. Before making the decision to leave the limelight and concentrate on her beauty brand, Lilly spent two seasons on the reality TV show.
Celebrating her lashes arriving on the British high street following a huge deal with beauty giant Superdrug, she said: “We are the Hollywood lash. Everyone from Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce wear our lashes.
“Any girl that is known for glam and beauty, trusts and wears Lily Lashes. And for us that it the best award! If you’re trusted on Hollywood’s most famous faces at their most important times, whether it’s the Met Gala or a concert tour.
“Taylor Swift requested so many lashes, she wore them on every single concert of her ERAs tour. Beyonce did the same! Taylor did the same for her Vegas residency. Adele wears our lashes. Adele’s make-up artists reached out to us and said Adele will only wear your lashes.”
However, Lilly was left speechless after receiving a direct message from Michelle Obama. Can you believe Michelle reached out to us, she asked? We were unable to believe it.
After trying to achieve the glamorous appearance she wanted, Lilly unintentionally launched her lash brand. She wrote a blog post, wrote 300 lashes, and the rest is history. No false lashes, according to her, were what I needed. To achieve the glamorous look I wanted, I would be putting three pairs of them on top of one another.
Everyone else did it, not just me, but everyone else did it. It took a lot of time, not just because you had to buy three pairs of lashes. Right there must be another option, I thought.
“I put up a blog post, there wasn’t even Instagram back then, and I said ‘Hey if anyone wants these lashes, I’ve made these lashes’. I then went and made a sandwich with my sister and when I came back I had hundreds of emails.
I looked at my sister, which made me smile because there were so many other women out there who wanted more from their lashes. I said to my sister, “I’m going to start a lash line, I’m going to give everyone else glamorous lashes,” and I said, “I’m going to start a lash line.”

Lilly balances raising her three-year-old son Kashton and daughter Alara, who is seven years old, with her beauty business. Last week, her range was introduced in nationwide Superdrug locations.
She continued, “We are so excited to be opening our doors to the UK with Superdrug because we have such a sizable UK clientele. It feels so wonderful to finally be able to give our lashes to glamorous beauties over here.” Everything you need is on our kits because some of our amazing styles come with glue and are available in a variety of colors. Superdrug now sells Lilly Lashes.

The Italian world number two won the ATP 500 tournament for the fourth time in a row to extend his unbeaten streak to 12 wins against the third-seeded Australian.
Sinner battled his way through what he described as a “physical” encounter to prepare for a showdown with countryman Lorenzo Musetti or second seed Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final despite being twice broken once in each set.
The top seed, who won at the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the China Open, expressed his satisfaction with how they handled the situation.
Sinner, who had severe cramped up from his previous tournament in Shanghai, said he arrived in Austria “quite late” as he hoped to win the 2023 title there.
He extended his winning streak to 20 matches, matching John McEnroe’s 47-match winning streak on indoor hard courts, which is still far below Sir Andy Murray’s best run on the surface.
Sinner, who became the first man to compete in eight finals in a row since Novak Djokovic in 2015-16, continued, “I tried to take every day in the best way possible.”
“I’m very happy that it wasn’t easy for me to [reach] the final here.”
“I was trying to play some good tennis and do very well.” I’m happy that I won today because the first set was very physical.
