Investec Champions Cup 23/24 - Round of 16

IFW gassed by a blindside!

Edit: Hodge as well! He was actually increasing the gap as they went on
 
You'd think chiefs would just constantly kick the ball. It would go miles and Bath would struggle and the lineout. I don't know why they aren't doing that. Especially as both the starting half backs are off who would often do the return kicks...
 
Yup, kick enough long that Bath's back 3 have to sit deep, then alternate between 50:22 attempts with no downside, and chips over the defensive line into the space left by the back 3
 
Why don't exter pass it outside to IFW dude is breaking tackles I would back him from 5m-10m out, especially with the holding up rules
 
This is a 14-21 point wind. Whatever happens here, we've won the half
 
Chiefs will be kicking themselves for getting nothing from all of that possession/territory
 
Good half for Bath that considering they were playing into the wind, had an early yellow and lost Finn.
 
Spencer took a big bang to the head when tackling Woodburn, off for a HIA
Yeah, I missed what happened, but knew he was off, but replaced by a specialist, so not reduced to playing 3 flankers just yet.
Not so much an issue with bayliss, who trains there, but...

Hopefully, we'll spend the 2md half showing Exeter how to use a wind
 
During highlights saw an LR player try to trip lubbock during the line break. LR are so dirty. They also had a face wash after a clean tackle.
