Other Fixtures 25th to 27th February 2022

[Darc Tiger]

Struggled?

[Rugbygramps]

Quins played very well v Worcester as like us they have quite a few missing due to the England call ups.
We struggled at home against Worcester a few weeks ago so well done Quins.
In fact, for me personally, outside of Tigers, Quins and Irish are the best teams to watch as they both play exciting rugby yet have decent packs too.

We won by 20 points and they scored an interception try is that classed as a struggle

Agreed. Strange comment that I don’t really understand. We beat Worcester 36-16 and as you say 7 of their points came from an intercept. Quins win 29-21 yet that’s somehow seen as a better result

[RagingBull]

Yeh we only struggled because we failed to capitalise. We left at least 4 tries on the field that game all from mistakes we made with zero pressure.

[Rugbygramps]

Very entertaining game at the Gardens. Hodge really is quick, wasted as Hoggs understudy. Mitchell is a better all round 9 than Randall every day of the week and twice on Sunday

[Big Dai]

Saints try from Augustus. Woodburn, hands on hips turning his back on affairs? Strange!!

Couldn’t believe what had just happened to their scrum. Schickerling is a big lump but can’t scrummage

Hodge is slightly hampered by being the same size as my 8 year old nephew, but very quick and has a good kick. If he can work on his physicality he'll be very good, but he isn't a first choice full back if you're trying to win the league. Lots of good 9s around at the moment, my pick would be Quirke but I think Randall is taking his opportunity with England well.

[Dr H Flashman MBE]

I think the saints game shows just how fit we are in comparison. I think the Chiefs will win this. Saints look spent. Great game though.

Agreed I would see him as a wing moving forward. Agreed re Quirke and as I posted Mitchell started to blow so fitness maybe not great but has a very good all round game

Mitchell is a good player and his time may well come for England - it's really down to personal opinion between him, Randall and Quirke at the moment.... in my personal opinion! Fitness is perhaps more a coaching issue?

[Rugbygramps]

Shocker by the TMO Andrew Jackson denies Exeter a try, so it isn’t only us.

He needs to go back to his big lump of cheese

[Rugbygramps]

Exeter bonus point win puts them up to 4th

Exeter bonus point win puts them up to 4th

And Saints slip to 9th 28 points behind us
