ampthill pretty short this week

Some good youngsters getting a run out for Saracens. Johnson, Hartley and Elliott in the backs with Spink on the bench.

Got to be a chance for Exeter to get something......surely?

[Which Tyler]

Is that a 4:4 bench for Sarries?

[Banquo]

Is that a 4:4 bench for Sarries?

Yep. Suspect they’ve run out of forwards

[Mellsblue]

Good to have a prelude to the Prem fin… ah, no, wait.

[Oakboy]

I simply don't understand how Exeter can be competitive without decent half backs.

[Mellsblue]

Webber’s ‘tache is a thing of beauty.

[FKAS]

I simply don't understand how Exeter can be competitive without decent half backs.

I still hold that before his ill fated move to Wasps Haydon-Wood looked decent at Newcastle and like a flyhalf who could develop into at least decent at club level. If he can get a nice run of games now I reckon he could still come good.
