We want to win the thing - Exeter Chiefs captain Gareth Steenson

Exeter Chiefs skipper Gareth Steenson said that his team is desperate to win their maiden Aviva Premiership title when they take on Wasps at Twickenham on Saturday.

The Chiefs finished second in the table last season and managed to outplay Wasps in a home semi-final before losing on to the eventual champions Saracens in the final. However, after securing another second spot finish this season, this time they managed to beat European champions Saracens 18-16 and are now lined up against Dai Young's men for a final clash at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.

"Last year's final, we probably took 25 minutes to get into the game," Steenson said. "Thankfully, we have got that experience under our belt now.

"We feel we are playing well, which is a great thing going into a final. If you don't turn up, you are going to be in trouble.

"It is a different feeling to last year. After the semi-final this year (against Saracens), as soon as we got back to the changing room, it was almost like a feeling of the job being only half done.

"We know very much what we want to achieve this year. We want to win the thing."

Exeter are in top form this season after registering record bonus point winning streak and in the process also ended Saracens' hope of repeating their double triumph this season and Steenson believes the momentum will benefit them in the final.

"We are feeling in a good place - we have been going very well," fly-half Steenson added.

"Our game is definitely in good shape, and hopefully with the experience we gained of playing in the final last year, we can bring it and use it to our advantage and maximise the full 80 minutes.

"It (the final) is huge. It is what we want to achieve. We want to be in finals, winning finals, and this is the biggest one you can get in our competition.

"It is very exciting for us. We just want to make sure we perform and put our best game out there. The last thing you want to do is go there and not do yourself justice."
