I was worried about the defence - no need it was very good. I was hoping for more attacking options - yep, tick. Overall very promising and so good to see the youngsters contributing. These guys are the future of the club. I don’t care if Exeter were undercooked, you can only play what’s in front of you. Great start.

He was also their best attacker, we just played him out of the game!
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Same old story; chuck it away at the end after the spadework has been done. When, oh when, are we going to play eighty minutes rugby, and stop shooting ourselves in the foot?

Pity we were missing our top line internationals, score would've been close to a half century. :smt044

One can only assume that’s sarcasm from Dangerous4!

What a cracking win and a cracking start to the season.

I think the players thought Hodge had been in touch. Got to play to the whistle though. Hanro running it into touch was probably the wrong thing to do but I am not sure if Burns or Steward were in position to take a pass and kick it long. Wells was a big too tired and had too much to do. As much the fault of those outside him. It is probably the best thing for Tigers though. Concentrate on that rather than the win and see if we can shut the shed up on Friday :smt003
