Have a real soft spot for Exeter been to both of our games there and find there supporters knowledgeable and warm hearted they have a great integrity about their club and the way they compete.
It's hard not to like the way they do their business, no big names just a carefully selected and developed squad/team
Plus a coach, who doesn't moan or play mind games via the media, but rather calls a spade a spade.

Even before the tournament started if one English team was to go through I would have wanted it to be Exeter

They are a legit club and should be the model in England

Still English though :mrgreen:

Everyone loves Exeter. They’re all that good in the great tradition of English rugby. Integrity in the Coach & mentors, gracious supporters, genuine locally focused style. Decent People.

Of course it helps to be admiring when we’ve beaten them twice! :-)

As one of the few teams that have the potential to beat us I'll shed no tears if Exeter get done by Glasgow.

Yeah, C'mon Glasgow!

Yeah, my admiration doesn’t go as far as wanting them to remain a threat to us. So I won’t be crying if Glasgow beat them. And I’m sure (seriously) that Exeter will take that as a compliment.

Baltic, but no wind. Pretty good conditions considering.

Shame we're trying to make this as easy as possible for Exeter!

Is 27 points a record for us or tying it?

Glad they're out. Not because I don't like them. It's because I respect them and wouldn't fancy another outing

Saracens looking back to their old selves here. If Racing or Ulster fail to win, we could be hosting them in the QF

The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day.

I think you've that wrong. As it stands they're on course for 6th or 7th seed. They've the same points difference as Ulster now. If Ulster win and Racing win we get them as 8th seed.

Stand over what I said about Exeter , Saracens however are another matter altogether will never forget having to listen to someone called Tiny Tempa at half time in Wembley !. If I never come across them again it will be too soon !.

A draw or 2 BPs would send Ulster through on 19
One match point for Toulon or 2 for Scarlets is 19 points
Racing need to win for 19
