Well done to Harrison on 300.

Exeter Chiefs v Sale Sharks
Referee: Adam Leal
ARs: George Selwood & James Clarke

No TMO so presumably no TV.

[Lord Elpus]

It looks as though the Chefs are entering into the spirit of the thing ...................not!

Yeah, they’re really cooking at the moment. I reckon we’ll get roasted

[Major Bloodnok]

Well done to Harrison on 300.

Four more and he overtakes Cuets.

[Olyy]

RdP out,
Bedlow Jr starts and Woodman onto the bench

[eBike]

20 minutes in 22-7 to Chiefs

[Olyy]

Bloody hell, was 7-7 last time I checked and just seen it's 29-7 at half time

[Lord Elpus]

HT 29-7

[eBike]

If only it was still 29 - 7

It's now 50 - 7

And still 10 minutes left.

[Olyy]

Another huge loss to add to the collection,
What is going on? I'm not overly upset about a loss in general, but why do we just completely collapse so often?

There were more first teamers in the Chiefs side but I wouldn't have said it was a 40pt mismatch, especially with a similarly strengthed Chiefs side going down to Gloucester's 3rds

[Lord Elpus]

FT (for Roy) 50 - 14

[LJK]

Shocking result again....be interesting if anyone travelled and endured that to hear what was the problem(s).? Don't understand why Asher and Bevan were not brought in as released by England at the start of the week. This competition is a bit of a farce, due to the frequent mismatch in team selection by coaches dependent on their objectives. Having said that it gives some chance to the Championship sides - see what Ealing did to day away at Saints

Hardly unexpected though. I, for one, would have been fuming if Rodd or Asher were injured in such a meaningless game.

[dinogyro]

Won't we have a month off now? Surely enough time to organise some sort of attack plan?

[Lord Elpus]

Nah 3 weeks - March 21st v Newcastle at Ice Station Zebra.

[dinogyro]

I'm hoping it's sorted by the 28th, I've got tickets for the Northampton game!

[SSR]

I have been waiting for some highlights or at least a report on the match.
I did not think we put out a bad team but to ship 50 points says otherwise.
Would that side have shipped 50 points to our strongest team if they played each other?
Chiefs were strong but they are not a top four side at the moment.
Not sure that bodes well for the run-in.

[Clutch]

Highlights available. Defence looks a shambles. All over the place with people flying out of the line.

[SSR]

Couldn't really tell much from the highlights. Defence too narrow multiple times, bypassed by
the long pass. Tackling woeful multiple times in the line defence. Ref penalising Sale multiple
times in the clips, but not a fair comment.
Exeter had far more pace out wide by the looks of things and offloading for fun amongst the
forwards. Seemingly more powerful across the board.
Not an encouraging watch.
