For god sake what is Ken doing? Just drop on the line FFS.

No idea how we haven't got 5 points so far....

 

[Peat]

Re recent chat about Hill's kicking - that was a decent choice there. Swallows summer etc. though

 

[91jmay]

Can't believe this half so far.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Loving Ewers' tackle technique... Not seen anyone else do it before. He swings around so tha he pulls the player back rather than pushing against them.

 

[91jmay]

Good try, Wood with good vision and Burrell with nice hands.

Good game this, both teams attacking with real intent. Nowell great break, Burrell super covering tackle. Ewers so impressive.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Burrell's been pretty good today, still not the best English 12 on the pitch though

Good play from Nowell there too

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That pass from Nowell!

 

[91jmay]

We got away with that big time. Corbi struggling at scrum time.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What an anti-climax

 

[chippieolamus]

*Insert Ewers + Slade hyperbole*

 

[ratsapprentice]

Denman lost his bind again... Don't now how the TJ sees the first but not the second.

 

[91jmay]

Slade has not done much, Ewers has been good though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I love Chiefs' counter rucking, proper brutal at times.

 

[ratsapprentice]

13 tackles and 18 metres from big Dave in the first half.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Why not go for the corner with 15 against 13?

 

[91jmay]

We've been dominated up front. Forwards battered.

 

[ratsapprentice]

That's why, I guess!

 

[j'nuh]

We've been dominated up front. Forwards battered.

Worrying for England when three England players are included in the Saints starting pack.

 

[Every Time Ref]

That's why, I guess!

Yeah, that's exactly what I logged back in to post. Good game, I'm in two minds who I want to win - ultimately I think Exeter are more likely to catch Bath than Bath are to catch Saints so I should want Saints, but I can't help enjoying Exeter success. Plus the greedy part of me wants to believe Bath can still top the table

 

[ratsapprentice]

This is a very strong chiefs scrum

Jnuh: less worrying when it's mainly English players dominating.
