Strong side - fairy muff, only chance of winning anything after all

Glad to see Exeter have put out a weak side, not an easy place to go and as 100of says, we need to win this competition to get HC rugby next year, to allow us to get the signings we want! Peter Short plays, which is nice to see!

Bath seem to have put out a strong team, which is just as well as this is the only competition we have a chance in!

I wish we had kept Short, apparently he played for someone like Exmouth 3rds when coming back to fitness!

Yous gonna get scalped Asbo.

Something like that, but he scored 3 tries at least!!

Well played, Barf

To be fair, as someone who has frequented local level 3rd teams many times, I'm pretty sure I couldnt stop Short if he wanted to get past me!

Hopefully Bath use this LV momentum to climb up the league now. As for Exe, the double is still there to do!

Home advantage for the semi against Tigers is huge. Never have much confidence going to Welford, but have some hope at home, especially if its still during the 6Ns and they are missing Cole Castro Croft Youngs Flood Tuilagi.
