Game on now.

Could be a great final.

14-12 to Exeter.

Purely for selfish reasons, what result do we want this afternoon?

Do we want a confident Exeter and European champions, but may have peaked?

Or do we want a wounded Exeter, maybe doubting themselves and not quite as fresh?

Thoughts?
Baxter and his coaches will turn any and every result in to a motivator and the team have had enough disappointments not to let a loss effect them.

At least Racing making Exeter work for this now. At one stage it didn't look like they'd have to break sweat.

Some success from Racing's cross field kicks. Not list on Jimmy and Jacob I'm sure.

Are Racing going to regret not going for a drop goal and making Exeter chase the game with 14 men?

A bit of a shambles at the end but well done Chiefs and well deserved after all they've been through.

Those missed conversions for R92 were all the difference.

Can’t believe they didn’t take a drop goal in front of the posts with 5 to go and a man in the bin for Chiefs! Bloody french :-p

Can we get rid of Nige from the top level now? It's not just that he makes it up on the spot, but he actively yells one thing, then allows the opposite whilst the player is doing what they've been told not to. With the new breakdown interpretations it's in even greater contrast than it was before.

Well done Exeter!!

Now go and celebrate f**king hard for the next 3 days.
Dive into huge vats of cider. Guzzle galore.
Feast on McDonalds.
And you can sleep when you retire.

Jack Nowell...I’m sure you can outdo Alex Goode.
Go hard...and don’t go home.

Stay out and celebrate.
Ignore all advice from your boring Strength and Conditioning Team. What do they know!!

Well done.

I miss you Bill McLaren! Had to mute the inane babble.

At least we are now relieved of seeing the EAs celebrating Euro wins now.

Rob Baxter hoping the win can free-them-up as a team now, next week.

Should make for a brilliant Final then!
