Exeter Chiefs vs Racing 92 - Champions Cup 19/20 Final

[Groundhog]

Escape there for Racing. They absolutely took the Exeter nine on their couterruck.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Both 9s having pretty poor games so far.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Iribaren having the exact opposite game from his last final. Absolute rubbish.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Iribaren already heading off by the looks of it

 

[Groundhog]

Bring on Donncha at 9. There'd be no shaking him!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That Racing tighthead is a proper nuisance over the ball

Shame about his scrummaging mind. Second pen he's given away there

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Whoever has that horn should be shot. Chiefs slow defensive reorganisation on display again.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Are those horns actually playing out loud in the stadium? Must be infuriating for the players

 

[Groundhog]

Now we have a game!! I was wrong it's turning into a good match now that Racing have woken up.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Classy try but seeing Imhoff go in unopposed in pale blue and white brings serious PTSD with it.

 

[Groundhog]

Cut to 01:14 to see me thoughts about this game

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

9 first half pens and only 2 tries to show for it really is not a great conversion rate for Chiefs

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nowell's pace is slipping these days, and he never had that much
Fat Russell was pulling away then and Nowell had the headstart

 

[Groundhog]

You could put benny hill (no relation to Johnny) music over how Racing dealt with that kick.

Eh, he's been injured for a couple of weeks, I imagine that has something to do with it. He's been having a great game so far though, deserves the England 14 shirt over Watson IMO.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Are Racing good enough to win this or bad enough to lose it?

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Brutal power and drive to get that try Exeter

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah more of an observation than anything, I'm not saying drop him - I've always liked wingers who don't rely on pure pace and more on reading the game and their running lines etc

 

[Reiser99]

Good first half. Exeter playing well. Need to cut out a few mistakes though. Racing have had some good moments, and some absolutely dire moments. TBH with Exeter's lead and relentlessness in attack I can see Racing fading in the second half.

He also had to slightly check his pace to kick the ball, where as Russell could just go full pelt.
