Could be a clean sweep of home wins this round.

Could be a clean sweep of home wins this round.

I dunno. I reckon Bath could upset Sarries.

 

[BPM]

I can't say I'd be unhappy with that

 

[GlosJoe]

A clean sweep of home wins this weekend too

 

[OllyM97]

Sale v London Irish - Sharks at home will beat most if not all this year
Exeter v Wasps - I just don't see Wasps winning these kinds of games this year
Gloucester v Bristol - I think "Fortress Kingsholm " could be back on the cards. Bris are capable of beating anyone though so if they turn up. who knows. Could be a home win by 30 or an away win by 5/6!.
Northampton v Newcastle - Simple rule with Saints ATM for me - back them against similar or weaker teams, don't back them against the top 5/6. They'll win this easily.
Saracens v Bath - By how many, 50?. Sarries look in the mood.
Harlequins v Leicester - I think Tigers will come out firing this week - losing the last two games would have been a big wake up call. Quins have been up and down this season as well.

Gloucester over Bristol.

Would've started SiMac and also had Raffi off the bench for an additional week, but very minor quibbles really

'Exeter Rugby Club can today confirm Saturday's scheduled Gallagher Premiership Round Six clash with Wasps has been called off.

However, the club have moved swiftly to ensure that rugby remains at Sandy Park this weekend as we will now be hosting a friendly fixture between Exeter Chiefs and Bristol Bears (3pm)'


Good to see Chiefs honoring Wasps tickets even if it is just a friendly.

That's not Ben Curry

 

[BPM]

Ben Curry is highlighted because he's captain, not because he's in the picture.

 

[Scotty]

First time this season i watch LIrish and theres no Arundell. How can i get on the hype train if he isn't there . Is he injured or just rested?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Rob du Preez at the front of the maul breakaway, is there anything he can't do?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Raffi
At least it's not his hamstring

Edit: not sure how I feel about the decision for him to play on, surely not worth the risk

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Irish #20 has been excellent since coming on

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ffs, I hate croc rolls
Akker's season probably done - same clearout that ruined Jack Willis' knee

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Singleton at the 5m lineout....

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Bath 9 is so painfully slow.
