Same here. Delighted with the win and very pleased with the
performance. Barring a couple of poor moments in defence we
played well.

Ooof. That was never a penalty try. Mind you, Danny was in a
great position to score or give a scoring pass when he picked up
and the ref blew for the penalty try.
Was also a really weird time to bin the Exeter prop, though with
the constant penalties someone had to walk.
Was also a ridiculous decision to blow instead of playing
advantage when Gabs 'scored'.
I was all set to write a post about how happy I was with the
overall effort and losing by 3 in the pursuit of a bonus point
win over the best team in the country wasn't the end of the
world, but I am very glad we won that.
Some fairly awful individual displays in there but this time the
majority of players did the job. Nice to have some impact off
the bench too, particularly Semi & Saili.

Good job Saili’s drop wasn’t too costly! (As well as Auterac
getting tangled with Grey’s boot)!

No kudos for the strong scrummaging by "that waster" Auterac?
We've just beaten the best team in the country, who rarely lose
on the road. We got a try bonus point. We've climbed the table.
Any chance of a vaguely positive comment from you? I thought
not.

For the last few years, that game would have ended with the
knock on by us or giving away a scrum penalty after winning 3
against them.....or nallsing up an attacking lineout so credit
where credits due, they did very well to win that.

Marcus Smith did. Thought Dombrandt was close as well. How good
have those two been recently?

Don’t wish to sound churlish, but we did commit two knock-ons -
it’s just that we had penalty advantage. But you do have to
applaud our scrum on that last sequence of plays - not many
teams have Exeter camped on their line for that long.

I'm just back from the game and still can't feel my feet but it
was worth it for that finale. In general I thought our decision
making was better than usual although our first up tackling let
us down too many times.
The scrum was mostly on top all game so I was pleased with the
decision to go for the win at the end. Plenty of decent
performances through the team and not too many bad ones.
Also it's great that the Stoop can get noisy when the
circumstances are right.

I thought Dombrant was excellent again. I hadn't been so keen on
Smith's performance until his try. Then I was convinced again.
