@Stargazer probably an easy win coming up for Exeter

@Bones Many of the clips you're posting are geo-blocked in NZ. Can you give us a caption, so we know what you're posting?
Basically, whilst Exeter have almost two good sides, they don’t have a third that can compete with a close to full strength Wasps. Bristol have booked a play off place, Wasps are playing at home in the play offs, Exeter romped the regular season and Steve Diamond is moaning again.
-
And Premier Rugby ignored their own rules again, and instead of cancelling Sale after 16 CV positives and giving the opposition team 5 points, they are supposedly playing on Weds. Oh and the team they played last time, and also have to isolate, aren't allowed to late call in some front row cover so they have to forfeit their game ...
Saracens drew with Bath, and hopefully those financial dopers won't see another game untill 2022 due to Championship being cancelled with no crowds.

It's usually just highlights of games.

Not surprised at all.
No issue there - he's giving up his test career, so he needs to make sure it's worth it.

Bristol claim their first euro titled, with no Luatua or Piutau
-
I found it funny how the French cameramen kept showing Junior Paramore during the game, probably thinking he was Pat Lam. Paramore got a lot of camera time because of that.

Exeter Chiefs beat Racing Club Paris to claim their first European title. Exeter supremo, Rob Baxter, must now be the favourite to take over as the next England Boss once Eddie Jones moves on.

Probable but I’m not sure that it will happen, or that it should. What Makes Baxter so successful is building an environment over time that improves incrementally, he won’t have that luxury managing England. Also, he is an Exeter man through and through, not sure he would want to be somewhere else, leaving Exeter behind. I’m thinking he would need to know he’d done all he could at the club he’s been at for over 30 years.

@Catogrande I’m pretty sure after RWC 15, he said no thanks not applying. And it is a completely different type of coaching.
Go the South West, too, with Brizzul and Executur Euro champs. They both might be in Prem final too!

Does anyone know whether Owen Franks will return to Northampton Saints when the new Premiership season starts? I noticed he's just returned to NZ (in managed isolation).
-
@Stargazer Still listed as a Saints player website. Their next game isn't until 20th November.
-
@Stargazer nah none for NZ

There are none, but it depends on where he changes planes as well.

@Catogrande Rob Baxter: Exeter boss may have England ambition says Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe
-
@sparky I saw that and was going to post but you beat me to it
Doesn't really say much apart from Tony Rowe's opinion which may depend on gin consumption - he does like a drop does Tony.
-
@Catogrande My reading of it is that Baxter is going nowhere for the next year. He wants to retain the HEC for Exeter. He might eventually apply for the England job (when there is a vacancy) but he might not.

Wasps at risk for not being allowed to take part in the Premiership Final because of positive COVID tests.
-
Another good one

@Catogrande Thought Bristol Bears' statement was classy.

Yeah, pretty much what you’d expect from a Lam/Luatua combination

13-10 to Exeter at half time in Premiership Final. Wasps still in it. Some seriously heavy rain.
-
13-13. 20 to go. Some great skill from Lima Sopoaga at Fullback. Stopped a penalty going out. Kicked it pass Ollie Devoto then won the penalty.

@sparky Wasps has a high kiwi content, Ali their points by Gopperth and Umaga
Jacob Umaga's a Pom.
-
Exeter Chiefs with a kickable penalty. 16-13.
-
Dan Robson having a good game at Half Back for Wasps.
-
Cracking touch funder by Umaga. These guys are not handling the wet that well, for poms!
-
How many players are in that maul?
-
Wasps penalty five out. But don't take the kick at the posts.
-
Lineout messed up by Wasps. Odd option to go to the tail in such wet conditions.
