Re: Exeter vs Wasps - Sat - 2.30pm
That's starting to look like quite a fearsome Wasps team again. Wouldn't be surprised if they did a number on Exeter, depending on the number of players that drop out injured before the match.

Wasps starting to look much stronger. Their recent form is good and i think they've a very good chance of getting a win here.
Exe badly hit by international call ups and injuries resulting in 2 hookers on the bench.

Who the hell are Daffydd Jenkins and Santiago Grondona anyway? They sound like rugby players from a computer game that hasn't got the licence for real player names and instead decides to make the most generically Welsh and Argentine names possible.

Re: Exeter vs Wasps - Sat - 2.30pm
Think so.
Slade, LCD, Nowell and Simmonds are with England. So too Hill, though he's injured.
Hogg, Gray and Skinner are with Scotland.
Plenty of others are injured, like Devoto, Williams, Lonsdale, J Maunder and Armand. Street and Vermeulen have been out all season.
Bare bones time.

Exeter certainly gave a good account of themselves. Wasps put in a ropey performance but showed enough grit to pinch it at the death. Barbeary had a decidedly mixed game, and was poor for 60-70 minutes spilling the ball, giving away penalties and falling off tackles

Jenkins is a highly rated young lock if I'm remembering correctly. Some Welsh fans are rather annoyed he's playing down in Exeter and not back with the region's.Puja wrote:Who the hell are Daffydd Jenkins and Santiago Grondona anyway?

The presumably Argentinian number 8 no idea but I'd guess an injury cover signing from the now defunct Jags.

Yep, signed from Ospreys academy in the summer. Had previous time at Hartpury. Played U20s for Wales whilst still at school. Very highly rated.FKAS wrote:Jenkins is a highly rated young lock if I'm remembering correctly.

Yup. I couldn’t quite place who he reminded me of watching it. He’s a ball of muscle isn’t he?switchskier wrote:Watching the itv highlights. Is it just me or is Odwogu increasingly resembling mini-Bastradeau?
Exeter’s team spirit was impressive throughout and should prob have won that in all honesty. Capstick was relentless and impressive.

Odogwu's leg drive is just silly, as is his acceleration at times. If he had just a bit more of a snappy sidestep, he'd remind me of the falcons wing who's name now eludes me! Pacific islander, built like a brick, quite short, absolute ball of fury when he got the ball and really tough to stop, played for them around 5? years ago.Beasties wrote:Yup.
