Doesn't really matter if they top the table at the end of the fixtures. It's all about who wins at Twickenham 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Who cares where Exeter are, Bris have seven glorified friendlies ahead before the play offs. 3 wins ahead of 5th they probably need 2 wins for the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Semi Radradra was ridiculous in that first half, him and Piutau in full flow is going to be quite something to watch. Looking forward to Tuesday night, if we can combine the scrum, maul defence and general defence from the Saracens game with the attack from tonight we may well stand a chance. It’s going to be a cracker either way 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions Cup rugby pretty much guaranteed for next season as well. Sods law we probably won't get to travel to some exciting fixtures in France and Ireland. What is happening with the 2020/21 season? Is it starting straight after this one finishes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to show who’s the best on Tuesday night. That loss the other year at home in the dying seconds still rankles with me.

That said two of my buddies were texting me last night throughout the Gloucester game using terms like ‘squeaky bum time‘ whereas I was always very confident that the Bears would win.

What irritates me is this whole idea that Exeter are some sort of saintly club financially. People make out that they’re players play for peanuts and just for their love of the club, which is total nonsense. Add to that their on the whole dull, uninspiring brand of rugby (despite having the likes of Hogg and Slade in their back line) and the fact we so often come so close yet so far against them, wouldn’t it be great if we thumped them with Piutau, Radradra and Morahan running riot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exeter will also make a host of changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a further 6-8 changes from yesterday though, the likes of Luatua, Hughes, Vui and S.Piutau will probably get a well earned rest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just turned on, realised I played against one of the Exeter players at youth level, Olly Woodburn, was excellent at age group level, one of a couple of examples of sport against someone who'd go on to a high standard, although the other ones were closer to elite standard at the time.

Kid in the Riot Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Got to hand it to Exeter. The reserve players come in and play exactly like the first 15. The very definition of a club having an "identity". Obviously have a very impressive coaching set-up. Two games in five days looks too much for some of the Bristol players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
