Any reports yet? With the snippets I've got it looks like a one sided loss bar catching them cold early,not good!

Game is up.

Not bothering to watch it tonight, but some might want to give it a gander.

The video is a bit naff, there's 15-20 mins where the stream must have gone down

Also to put a bit of perspective a similar strength Exeter team just lost to Cornish Pirates 29-21, Leinster also lost to Newcastle 42-17 at home, not sure either of those sides will be panicking yet

Keeping them scoreless down to 14 with some good defending stands out

May I suggest when you do your prediction for the Irish game you leave O'Connor out of the team? I probably wouldn't replace him with Guy Thompson either. :smt023

evans was pretty obvious given he was in a wheelchair and crutches over the summer, some seemed to think he would be ok for pre-season though.

It looked as though Voss and Williams had good games, rewatching the match now.

I know it’s preseason and all but to be caught out by tap and goes two weeks in a row is simply not good enough.

Edit: Despite the yellow card which I thought was a bit extreme, Reffell had a really good game, Fitz looked assured in the carry, not sure about his leadership qualities and Denton put in a good debut shift.

All I'm saying is think about why Reffell started at 7 and not one of the above ones mentioned.

Bigger injury list than known publicly. Thompson out for a while apparently, very concerned about 12, 13 too. Olowofela may be pitched in early.

Yep! So when it comes to team predictions, it's probably not worth bothering! :smt009
