That's a very strong side, clearly going for win and I fancy we they will deliver too.

Re: Exeter (A) - Sunday 27th March 2022
If the forwards provide him with quick enough ball he is good as anyone. And just to preempt any why did he kick the ball comments, that’s the game plan to either challenge for the kick or defend in a lineScott1 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:46 pmYes,let's hope his dilly dally days are overWayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 12:38 pm Let's hope Ford is distinctly better than his past 2 appearances for us (& if he isn't he gets the Shepherds Crook) & YBY isn't in an arm waving mode.

It's a positive that all the Internationals are available to play.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Re: Exeter (A) - Sunday 27th March 2022
That's a cracking side. It has done us a favour playing on Sunday this weekend, just gives that extra day for the likes of Genge and Steward to properly recover from Paris.
I'm feeling confident........not sure that's usually a good sign!

Unknown.
Possibly, with our depth at back row atm he may be being saved for a trial run at lock for our game Tuesday.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
Re: Exeter (A) - Sunday 27th March 2022
Freddie B a bit unlucky not to be starting imho. Not a grumble, just an observation.
Re: Exeter (A) - Sunday 27th March 2022
Fair comment, Burns has been in top form - there's an argument both ways. Even with Ford returning I'm sure Freddie will have an important role to play in the final part of the season.

Very good question but has certainly dropped behind Chessum in selection

Probably down to Freddie's ability to cover 10 and 15, which George doesn't.

Re: Exeter (A) - Sunday 27th March 2022
One of those damned if he does damned if he doesn’t calls for SB. No doubt that a fit and firing Ford starts ahead of Burns everytime, also IMO Burns and JVP coming on against tiring legs will have more impact
Re: Exeter (A) - Sunday 27th March 2022
I've been trying to work something out, but my covid-addled brain seems to be letting me down. If we win on Sunday, would that guarantee a playoff spot?
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

The commentator at the Sarries-Bristol game said if we win that’s top four done.
