Is that Tom Ellis the Bath flanker on the bench for Sale?

It is. Making a 6:2 bench for Sale. The Exe bench looks far better and should make an impact. Liking what i've seen of Fisilau and this lad Cairns at SH is a livewire.

Yeah Cairns seemed to emerge from nowhere last season, Chiefs have been struggling for either their import 9s or homegrown options to make a big impact and he seems to be delivering. Baxter has done a pretty good job with the rebuild, there's plenty of good young talents coming through.

Fisilau has made a great start to the season. He’s a proper workhorse but also making a solid impact on games.

Not just niled but 43 points conceded. That's a massacre.

Have Chiefs changed attack coach or something? They are ripping teams apart this season.

Don't believe so. Think he's running his pub and coaching in Nat 1 or similar.

There's a lot of world cup players to return for sides yet.

Faintly surprised that Sale can field a legal side with SA in the final.

Not many of their Saffas make the Bok squad. Part of the genius of their signings. Available all year round.

Baxter is the best club manager(DoR as opposed to head coach) around. His ability to judge potential is pretty useful. Undoing an era and starting afresh is not easy, especially with financial restrictions.

Yeah, me too. Exeter have come from nowhere with this scintillating form.

He was also a pretty good coach, which helps.

There was a reason why I locked it :P - it's so no-one except for me can update their prediction of Exeter in 9th.

I meant in terms of being able to support his staff well.

Having seen the highlights that's going to be a miserable review for Sale. Looks like they got absolutely battered in the physical exchanges. Penalty try from a scrum, mauled over their line twice.

Impressive from Exe. That scrum for the penalty try was quite a statement. Ross McMillan looks to be a very good acquisition to the coaching team.
