Danny Ciprianis Wasps return ended in victorious fashion at the Ricoh Arena after Exeter lost a healthy lead to suffer a 25-20 opening weekend defeat.England international fly-half Cipriani, who made his first Premiership appearance for Wasps since May 2010 after rejoining them from Sale Sharks, had a solid, rather than spectacular afternoon, as Wasps fought back from 12 points adrift early in the second period.Centre Jimmy Gopperth, scrum-half Dan Robson and hooker Tommy Taylor all scored tries for Wasps, while Gopperth added two conversions and two penalties for a 15-point haul to thwart the Chiefs -- last seasons Aviva Premiership runners-up.Exeter bossed the opening 50 minutes, taking charge through touchdowns from number eight Thomas Waldrom and scrum-half Will Chudley, with fly-half Henry Slade kicking 10 points, but they were undone by Wasps strong final quarter display.Cipriani and his former Sale teammate Taylor both started following their summer moves, with two more Wasps newcomers -- prop Marty Moore and lock Matt Symons -- on bench duty. Exeter boss Rob Baxter handed a debut to former Bath centre Ollie Devoto, who partnered Sam Hill in midfield.And it took the Chiefs just four minutes to open their account, as they delivered a trademark try from a driven lineout for Waldrom, who scored three tries when Exeter crushed Wasps 41-27 on their last Premiership visit to Coventry nine months ago.Slade added the conversion, but Cipriani showed some promising early touches for Wasps, almost creating an opportunity for wing Christian Wade following a clever kick into space, before a Slade penalty took Exeter 10 points clear.Wasps could not establish any consistent foothold inside Exeters 22, and the Chiefs went close to extending their advantage through an impressive Olly Woodburn break, but he could not get the final pass away that would undoubtedly have created a try.The home side, though, moved up a gear as half-time approached after Gopperth had opened their account with a penalty.Devoto rightly avoided any punishment from referee Tom Foley after his boot accidentally went close to Ciprianis head in a ruck, and Wasps then conjured a superb score when livewire number nine Robson capitalised on flanker Guy Thompsons midfield surge to send Gopperth sprinting over in the corner.But Exeter fought back immediately, ending the opening 40 minutes by reasserting control as Chudley and Hill linked impressively before Chudley skipped outside Wasps last defender and claimed a try that Slade converted for a 17-8 interval advantage.Another Slade penalty put Exeter 12 points ahead, yet Wasps replied in style through some slick handling that freed Wade from just inside his own half, and he found Robson on a supporting inside run, with the scrum-half enjoying a 30-metre unopposed run to the line.Gopperths conversion narrowed the gap to 20-15, and Wasps impressive momentum saw them score another try 14 minutes from time, on this occasion after their forwards blasted open Exeters defence and Taylor touched down following an impressive show of power.Another Gopperth conversion put Wasps ahead for the first time, before Slade sent an angled penalty chance narrowly wide with eight minutes left, and that proved to be Exeters last scoring chance as Gopperth sealed the deal through a long-range penalty.USWNT Jerseys 2021 .

It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.Renault team boss Federeic Vasseur doubts 2017s regulation changes will lead to a wholesale reshuffle of the pecking order as some have predicted.Next years cars are set to be faster and wider, with Pirelli currently testing a thicker set of tyres for the season. Previous regulation changes have served to shake up the order, such as in 2009 or 2014, but Vasseur says there are no guarantees that will be the case next season.It wont totally reshuffle the cards, he said. Contrary to what you might think, I am not sure the new regulations will be such a big advantage for Renault because I think they will favour well-oiled structures with reactive staff, while we are still in the process of re-building the team.What can happen though is that teams fighting for positions in this years constructors championship are tempted to still allocate resources to improve their current chassis and find an extra tenth for the upcoming races.On the other hand, for a team like Mercedes, whose place has been more or less securedd for some time, its easier to shift its attention towards 2017.dddddddddddd So it will not really reshuffle the order, structurally at least.Now, the big difference can come from the range of technical choices and philosophies favoured by the teams. We saw it at the time of Brawn GP [in 2009] when several squads had gone for double diffusers and the others had to catch up. This is where you can have the edge.Renault has struggled on its return to the grid as a manufacturer this year but Vasseur is comfortable with the decisions the team made to focus largely on 2017s changes.We had two choices: we could concentrate on 2016 and spend a lot of energy to progress and play catch up, or we could focus on 2017 very early, knowing there were major regulation changes in the pipeline. I dont know what happened at other teams but we switched to next year very early. Well see how it goes. ' ' '
