Exeter Chiefs overturned a half-time deficit to beat Trailfinders and move to the top of the Premiership Women's Rugby table.

The hosts trailed 13-10 at the break at Sandy Park, but scored four second-half tries - through Cliodhna Moloney, Clara Nielson, Hope Rogers and Lori Cramer - to win 36-25.

Exeter leapfrog Saracens, who play on Sunday against defending champions Gloucester-Hartpury, at the summit with four wins from four.

Elsewhere, Harlequins secured a 22-19 win over Loughborough Lightning at the Stoop.

Loughborough struck first through Bo Westcombe-Evans before the England wing's game ended prematurely because of injury - with Bulou Mataitoga replacing her in the 20th minute.

Quins hit back with two quickfire tries from Connie Powell and Lisa Neumann, before Loughborough's Laura Keates dotted down to give her side a 14-10 half-time lead.

The visitors then extended their advantage through Meg Davey's score, but tries from Quins pair Carys Phillips and Ellie Kildunne - who returned to club duty after winning the WXV 1 title with England - helped the hosts edge to victory.

In Saturday's late game, Bristol Bears earned an impressive 57-10 bonus-point victory at winless Sale Sharks.

Gabriella Nigrelli handed Bears an early lead before the visitors doubled their advantage with a penalty try.

Courtney Keight added a third try soon after, but Sale hit back through Niamh Swailes.

England prop Sarah Bern wrapped up a first-half bonus for Bristol, who led 38-5 at the interval after further tries by Abbie Ward and Jasmine Joyce.

Meg Webb finished a fine team move to stretch Bristol's lead after the break, and Sharks claimed their second consolation try through Scarlett Fielding from a rolling maul.

Joyce doubled her tally on the hour mark before Lark Atkin-Davies added the gloss with a ninth try for Bears, who move up to third in the table, while Sale remain rooted to the bottom.
