Would Taufua accept ALL my Tesco points to stay?

We made subs far too early, why was Youngs and Leatiga subbed?

It was never on, he doesn't even look up. Made worse by knocking on Taufua's offload when he was in. 12 points of errors from him. He's an international I expect better. Add that to the 7 from Henry not a good day for the 10s.

Or Exeter are just very good at starving the opposition. Even the commentator is suggesting the score doesn’t reflect how well we’ve played.
pretty much every time we get the ball we go one or 2 phases then kick, we starve ourselves, Exeter are good enough we don't need to help them.

We haven't payed well, we have DEFENDED well, there are 2 sides to the game...

After a good start that was sooo dissapointing. I think we'll be fighting a relegation battle again.

Ohhh dear. How sad Never mind.

Although I felt whenever there was a collapse, Chiefs were given benefit of the doubt regardless.

How can you attack when your centres make 30 tackles.
I think the key there is making sure you don't need to make so many tackles...

But Bonilla :smt013
Check the stats - all teams conceded big numbers of penalties against Exeter. That’s how they score so many rolling maul and forward oriented tries. They’re brilliant at what they do.

Agreed though, Mr Bonilla and if I might say also Mr Bower need to pull their socks up.
