Having watched the game now, I thought Barbeary looked a little off the pace in defence (as did a couple of others), but his attack was as strong as always. It's just that exeter made sure they had 3 men on him every time, which is great because it makes more room for us elsewhere.
Think we should be thanking Barnes for not wanting to call it a little earlier, saw plenty of rucks that could have easily gone against us in the final 10 minutes (75-85). I wouldn't say he wanted us in the game, but he could have easily, and legitimately, killed us off as such. Another ref would have changed the landscape a lot.
