Exeter Chiefs boss Rob Baxter admits his frustration at not ending 2012 with a victory.

Exeter Chiefs boss Rob Baxter has admitted that he was disappointed with his side's 12-12 draw with Bath at the weekend.

The home side appeared to be closing in on the victory in the final moments, but a late penalty from Tom Heathcote secured a share of the spoils for Bath.

"Whenever a team peg you back that late in the game, specifically when you have quite good control of things, it feels tough. But there is a reality, I don't think we played well enough in the first half and I don't think our forwards were right on the money," Baxter told Eurosport.

"That changed pretty dramatically in the second half and ultimately they gave us the control to really pull away. Then we kind of did what we did in the first half, which was double-up a couple of errors and a couple of penalties.

"All of a sudden we were defending in the corner and the penalty try happens and the game has gone from you. That is a little frustrating but this is the best result that we have had against Bath and it shows that we are getting a lot of things right."

Exeter, who are still unbeaten at home in the Aviva Premiership, currently occupy eighth spot in the table.
