Can't see Exeter winning this, even at home. Their scrum could be demolished.

Scrum is key. Get parity and Exeter are in with a shout.

now 14-0 Ex, though that may be illusory - often they relax after getting a big early lead.

That fly half is playing well. Did I remember right he was injured which is why he didn’t get more of a look in for England ?

Mostly selection rather than injury, justified by his form massively fluctuating, to the extent he hasn't been first choice for Exe for a chunk of this season.

If we're talking about people England should be interested in, what's people's opinion on Dan Frost? He's looked like a different player since signing for Exeter.

Exeter a bit flattered by the scoreline but clear deserved winners, rackon.

Why do Exeter always have stupid team try celebrations? First there was the wanking each other off one, now it appears to be rubbing their hands in the try-scorer's face.

My biggest worry is that they’re step 1 and step 2. I dread to think what step 3 is…

I thought when he signed for Exeter it would be a good acquisition. very lively in the loose. Maybe his throwing is a bit suspect.

Good performance by Exeter. They caught the Stormers cold and made the most of it. I do like Becconsall and i think they've got a good player in Wyatt.

Wyatt looks very handy, with him and Hodge they'll have replaced Hogg with cap space to spare.

Frost looks great in the loose but a bit suspect in the set piece. Didn't he come up through the lower leagues to Wasps so might be that it's just something he can find tune with more time at this level.

He was really good for two seasons (European player of the year iirc) but his overall form dipped when his goal kicking did alongside Exeter fading as a force- chicken meet egg I suppose.

Huge surprise. The only game I’ve called incorrectly so far this weekend.
