The playoffs look like being the current top 4. Although I want Quins to win I wouldn't be overly upset if the Chiefs prevailed in the end. Rob Baxter has done superb job with them. ABS for me otherwise.
Same for me. Quins all the way, but if Quins don't make the final, I'll be massively cheering on Exeter if they do.I wonder how much the efforts in Europe will impact on the domestic season as time goes on?
If you look at Quins in Europe so far, after 4 matches all round, you get this...
Quins: Tries Scored, 27. Tries Conceded, 4. Try BPs, 4. Points Scored, 20.
The rest of the group put together! Tries Scored, 33. Tries Conceded, 56. Try BPs, 4. Points Scored, 21.
They look like they're going to romp through that at a canter, with no need to risk any of their key players if they need to rest them, needing only 2 points from the remaining 2 pool matches to be sure of a home QF, so surely that's got to help their domestic campaign as well?
Did I mention that I'm an Exeter supporter from BP (before Premiership)?
Huge match on Sunday for us and Sarries. I think we'll make the top 4 easily but I'd be impressed if we manage to go all the way in the playoff.
Exeter made hard work of it yesterday at Worcester but the pack is a quite awesome machine when it comes to a rolling maul only letting themselves down slightly at the scrums.

Never seen the Falcons play better than they did in the first half tonight !
Really impressed with them and the whole set up at Kingston Park. My lads and I watched the game en route to seeing Hartlepool United v Yeovil, a long drag from our home in Bristol. Not really a rugby fan at all but I can judge decent play when I see it and I thought their forward play was superb at times. Powell and the little lad with jinking feet were impressive... saw Powell take a hit and get treated for it - then the ball came over to where he was being tended, the physios got out the way quick and he produced a storming tackle again to deny a try.
That PA announcer loves himself though... but fair play, it gees the crowd up. Decent atmosphere too.
