What do you make of that selection @Tmartin995? I keep an eye on Exeter's results with a keener interest than any other team and visit occasionally, but wouldn't describe as a fan, so I may be out of date, but some of those picks surprise me. I'd have thought that Waldrom, Hill and Short would be starting, although I noted that Armand started last time out against Wasps, so maybe this is a case of horses for courses. Also, does Williams regularly start ahead of Francis? I may very well be outdated in my thinking / unaware of form.

Well Manu is out
Do his other knee by the looks of it
It's unlike Tigers to rush a player back only for him to get injured straight awayWell Manu is out

Did they rush him back though? (Genuine question, it seems like he had been on the sidelines ages before being re-introduced.)It's unlike Tigers to rush a player back only for him to get injured straight away

I am starting to wonder whether Tuilagi's injury problems stem from being introduced to the international game (and the extended season that comes with it) at a very young age. The same appears to be happening with Halfpenny, North, Tait, Cole, for a few examples.
I might be wrong but I'm sure I heard people saying his latest injury would keep him out of the summer tour.
Tigers make the top 4 and he's fit enough to start, all of a sudden...
Sounds like it's a new injury, though, so all tinfoil hat territory
