This is exactly what Austin Healey does and gets loads of criticism for, not least on here. Yes, sometimes unfairly. It doesn't sit well when he seems to be bossing the TMO. And no one likes it when their team scores a great try but Austin wants it ruled out for a foot in touch. But there's plenty ...

The referee and touch judge were shocking Exeter were constantly offside and interfering in the break down .. Jaspers loss of control was a direst response to Dickson refusal to referee correctly and penalise them. Also right from the beginning he refereed the scrum badly … their loosehead constant...

World rugby needs to sort out the role of the TMO. For me it should be limited to foul play and questions over whether trys are scored correctly Agreed sometimes I wonder if it’s the TMO or the Referee in charge of the game, but TMO duties must be limited and possibly go the same way as the VAR. To...

100% this - hope DMK and the rest of the staff and players get some time to switch off and reset mentally and come back hungry and ready to rip! Today showed the support behind the club and even with a tricky season there is huge backing to see this great club into the new season. We back the club,...

Deserved red. Absolutely pathetic thuggery on the pitch. Yes, but he went in to defend his team mate. Got MoM as well. *from the important people. Don’t get this initial comment. Wasn’t thuggery he picks him up and drops him and lands on his head amongst other parts of his body. Yellow card at wors...

Considering that some had Exeter had warm favourites before the game, that was a very good result.

With a productive and focussed pre-season, fewer handling errors and a couple of positions bolstered, I think we can be optimistic that next season will be better than this one.

Oh no please not a red for jasper

Has Christian Day done commentary before? He's pretty good. Knows what he's talking about and doesn't make it about him.

Feels like we're either going to win this comfortably, or else cough up a couple of interception tries in the second half and lose it in the last minute.

Let's hope we can make the second yellow count at the start of the second half.

Jenkyns is not getting there but ‘we don’t judge the number’ cannot believe how stupid it is!

Is that a law, a guideline, or just something referees have invented to make their job easier?

The call is often made too late and then they don't stick to the 5 seconds. The problem for the refs is now the whole thing has become so orchestrated and has been in practice for such a long time,. The idea of a new law would change the dynamic. Once presented there will be no point in the scrum h...

No issue with the Caterpillar so long as the ball is used when the call is made and refs stick to the 5 seconds The call is often made too late and then they don't stick to the 5 seconds.

I think that is a good point but one I see slightly differently. In an ideal world you have excellent first choice players with solid back up an developing third choices. Our success in developing and attracting international talent has meant that we are too often left with the solid players are ou...

I, for one, just want this fragmented season to end so we can get on to the next. We can then judge McKellar based on his coaching appointments (debate can rage whether Richardson and Dickens were his or not - what's not open to debate is that the new attack and S&C coach will be his appointmen...

I'm quite disappointed with the way this season has panned out, but if anyone was expecting a smooth upward trajectory from the title-winning season, then they're expecting a bit too much - or at least, it's unfair to pin it on McKellar. In a sense a lot of things fell nicely for 2021-22. Burns, Pot...
