Apparently only 8000 watched the Exeter match this weekend on PremierSport as opposed to 13800 at Sandy Park. Going well ….,, not. Should’ve accepted TNT offer.
The crowd at Sandy Park was closer to 10,000 but your point remains valid. Last year I watched virtually every match of every round of the tournament, this year I’ve been to the 2 home games at Sandy Park and that’s it. I just don’t want to be paying for yet another subscription … particularly as the Chiefs will not be progressing

From the Leinster perspective, I believe the likes of Jordie Barrett (and his socks!) and Snyman are huge for us. It’s not since Brad Thorn that we’ve had such impactful signings. If we can get Dan Sheehan back and keep him fit through the 6Ns, along with Prendergast or Frawley, then I believe we’ve got a good chance again this year
Munster in France is going to be very interesting, and with LaROGchelle showing a drop off in performance of late I suspect Munster will sense a chance of taking a French scalp away in classic style
As someone who doesn’t really follow the English Premiership too closely, can someone tell me what has happened to Exeter? Both from recent European results and looking at their position in the Premiership table they seem to be in a bit of a state right now

A lot on injuries and losing key players overseas I gather. Shame as I like the club and fans are an interesting bunch. Baxter is a very good coach but can’t work miracles Smollet said:

Ah OK, thanks. Agreed, I have fond memories of going to an away Heineken pool match there about 10 years ago, and the fans were very welcomingGassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
