Bit odd, again, but after last week, I'm not questioning Cockerill.
 
Not a bad team, would've started Twelvetrees (or at least had him on the bench) but I guess they're getting Staunton back up to match fitness for when Flood is off on England duty
 
Not starting Waldrom is my biggest concern, Crane'll need to be at his best straight away to make up for the loss of gainline breakage.
 
Ah, didn't notice that
Suppose Waldrom needs a rest every now and then, considering how much he puts into a game
With both Tuilagis on the pitch you won't be short of linebreakers anyhow
 
Good to see Staunton keep his place! Didn't see last weeks match but heard he was pretty class? generally when he plays well he will be poor the week after so G'WAN EXETER! :p
 
HT and it's 9-15 to Tigers, Tuilagi and Crane with 2 tries for the visitors.

So far Exeter have matched Tigers for every element in the game except their finishing. I sense another upset on the cards being as Staunton is a bag of ****.
 
Did Flood change his kicking style because of his injury, or did his change cause the injury? I didn't quite catch what was said. Manu looked good again, and I think he should start next week.

It was interesting to see Exeter's scrum improve after the ref told their LH to "show him something different."
