rugby highlights:Premiership: Gloucester 16-9 Exeter Chiefs <br />Gloucester edged out Exeter to keep their top-six hopes alive and prevent the Chiefs from sealing a Premiership play-off place for the first time. <br /> <br />Exeter, promoted from the Championship in 2010, remain second behind Saracens. <br /> <br />Following a pointless first half - the first in the top flight since 2009 - the match came to life with wing Ollie Thorley's debut try for the hosts and two Gareth Steenson penalties. <br /> <br />Scotland's Greig Laidlaw landed three kicks to secure victory for Gloucester. <br /> <br /> Relive Gloucester's win over Exeter <br /> <br />The Cherry and Whites, who had lost each of their previous five matches, remain eighth but closed the gap on sixth-placed Harlequins. <br /> <br />Exeter are now 10 points above Leicester in fourth and 14 points ahead of Northampton in fifth, prior to the East Midlands derby between the two teams on Saturday. <br /> <br />Rob Baxter's side, whose best-ever finish was the fifth place they managed last season, could still have their spot in the top four confirmed this weekend if Saints fail to win at Franklin's Gardens. <br /> <br />In difficult conditions for flowing rugby at Kingsholm, Exeter never looked likely to add to their seven try bonus points this season. <br /> <br />Steenson's accuracy from the tee kept the Chiefs in touch after Thorley crossed for the game's only try following Tom Savage's superb offload. <br /> <br />But scrum-half Laidlaw was equally immaculate with his boot to secure Gloucester's first Premiership win since 5 March. <br />PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE MY CHANNEL.
