Baxter hails Exeter spirit after Munster comeback

Henry Slade's try ensured a bonus point for Exeter after he kicked the winning conversion at Toulon last week

Exeter boss Rob Baxter has praised the resilience of his side after they came from 19-10 down to beat Munster 32-24 and maitain their winning record in the European Champions Cup.

The win put Exeter joint-top of their pool alongside Northampton.

"As the pressure really came on we came up with a couple of moments," Baxter told BBC Radio Devon.

"I don't really know how Jack Dunne scored that try, but the truth is it's not how he scores it, it's where it comes from.

"It comes from us exiting well, we win the contestable kick off, Stu takes a good decision to create more pressure with a second quick kick and then it's the bounce of a ball.

"We created pressure with the bounce of the ball perhaps making things work and that's what you have to do."

There had been little expected of Exeter going into their European campaign, with a new-look, inexperienced squad still getting to know each other.

But the result against Munster backed up an impressive win at Toulon last week, leaving them in a strong position to make the knockout stages at the midway point of the competition's pool matches.

"We talked all the time how we wanted this to just be a big learning experience for the players and we were going to pick our best teams," Baxter said.

"We weren't going to rest and rotate and leave guys out, we weren't going to stop players from being able to play.

"We didn't and they've performed two weeks in a row for us."
