Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
Exeter perhaps more vulnerable than of late.That said, any away fixture is difficult and I personally believe there will be a degree of team rotation.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

You can't give a team like Exeter anything or they will claw back into the game.

Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
Thank goodness the TMO is not David Rose as he often lurks his way into the South Western matches and has been very anti Tigers in the past. Not sure on Jack Makepeace just hoping very little TMO interference but very impressed with Adam Leal last week.. Had there been no internationals I feel sure Luke Pearce would have wandered up the road to Sandy Park. Hoping for a great result!TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 4:09 pm Officials for the game announced.

Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
I rate Makepeace. He’s fairly new to the premiership scene but has been solid in the matches I’ve seen him officiate.AngusMcCoatup wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 4:42 pmThank goodness the TMO is not David Rose as he often lurks his way into the South Western matches and has been very anti Tigers in the past.

Yep we usually get the Sandy Park local who tends to favor the home side funny old thing but thankfully not this time. Should be a great game and no complaints about the officials line up.. let’s hope the same can be said come Friday lunchtime

Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
Much would depend on how match ready he is. I would guess that he would have to stay with the squad at least until Friday in case of injury and he will not have played a match for several weeks. As such I would suspect he would not be ready by the weekend even if released from the England camp.GETHIN EXILE wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 1:26 pmwith George martin not named in England 23 I'd have him involved in the starting back row alongside Liebenberg and BrinkBG01 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 8:21 am I'd go with a big team, and solid replacements who can keep up the physicality.

Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
Up until the team warm up is completed and nobody has picked up an injury, none of the 28 will be heading back to clubsGETHIN EXILE wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 1:26 pmwith George martin not named in England 23 I'd have him involved in the starting back row alongside Liebenberg and BrinkBG01 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 8:21 am I'd go with a big team, and solid replacements who can keep up the physicality.

If any of Wilson, Earl, Vunipola or Curry get injured he's definitely in the 23.
If Itoje, Ewels or Hill are injured, either him or Ribbans go into the 23.

Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
I think SB will rest a few players. There has been a pattern like that. It would be fantastic to get George Martin back early but would also be a shame for him on a personal level to miss the game and match day experience that he will also gain from massively. He appears to be a modest and level-headed young man so any such additional experience should add nothing but confidence

Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
Green needs to do training drills all week where he runs through the tackler instead of what he was doing last week of stopping to get tackled, if he can't manage it he shouldn't play until he does

Re: Sat 20th March - Exeter away
I think it will be more of a mixed bag this week, with the England lot coming back next week (and Genge and Martin needing game time) as well as Wiese back and so he might feel less appetite to rotate as much.KiwiTig wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 1:54 pm I think SB will rest a few players.

I'd quite like to see McPhillips start but think it's unlikely! I know he's young but we need to give him a proper go at some point.
