Ya. Imagine being top of the league and unbeaten. What a horrible situation to be in. Eejit

Now that I've had time to reflect on it really Exeter got 33 points which they had averaged in their 3 home games to date so it was no surprise they reached that tally again. Frustrating thing was the try before half time. 12-6 and 19-6 is a huge difference. Anyway a 5-0 is a big setback to our hopes of winning the group.

Exeter will probably get 10 in the back to back games against La Rochelle (9 at worst)

That brings them to 16. We are on 5, we need 9 from the back to back games against Bayonne. If it was 16 v 14 it would still be in our hands heading into Exeter at home in January.

The team we send out was ok on paper but it sounds like they bullied us. If we get no return from Ospreys away serious questions will have to be asked about the thinking behind the last couple of games because I don't see it to be honest.

Also it must be pointed out the late injury to Dave McSharry can't have helped. Would they have been better going back to Carty and Ronaldson at 12 I wonder?

Could be worse, we could be the Ospreys!

Might give this a miss

33-13 at full time.

33-6 this is a Bradley like hammering at this stage.

And chiefs have the bonus point early in the 2nd half. They will now top the table on 6 points.

Oy. Hope we come back and make it reasonable at least.

19-6. Got it back to 12-6 on the stroke of ht then Chiefs got in for another. Odds on the 5 points for them now.

Another try for the Chiefs. This is beginning to look ominous.

Chiefs 7-3 up. Well on top by the sounds of things. Need to weather the storm and keep in contention at this stage.
