Yep. Exeter 1s vs. Worcester kids/reserves. Literally men
against boys.

Cavubatu is ok, I do not think Young has enough beef/ooomph in
him. Still unsure about Lamb.

Totally agree. They’ve developed in to an excellent unit and our
back up is nowhere near the same standard. Tex flatters to
deceive IMO. Undoes a lot of the good work he does with brain
dead penalties and often being way too casual.

If the last two games demonstrate one thing it's that there is a
sharp drop off in quality from our first team. Strength in depth
in key positions (lock, FH, back row) is lacking. I hope Gustard
and Co. will address before next season
Still, let's focus on a great performance from the boys today.
Evans, DC, Brown and Smith all very influential with the pack
setting a good platform. A nod to Northampton too. A great open
game with two sides wanting to play. Really enjoyable game.

Agreed. Noticeably less whistle today. Players adapting to the
new interpretations helping, but even handed and refreshingly
even called a few offsides too today

Refs are usually good when we win :)

Think Kerrod deserves a mention, allowed the scrum to gain some
sort of parity and then was a willing carrier in the loose.
Think Louw will be fighting it out with him for the starting
spot with Collier dropping down to third choice imo.

Agreed. He's looking very solid at set piece time and good work
rate. You'd expect Louw to be first choice, but he'll have
competition for the shirt which is what we need.
Sticking with the front row, Baldwin is looking like a different
player post lockdown.

At the moment, I would say Kerrod is first choice, its up to
Louw (or someone else) to take his shirt. Trenier still to come
in also. Id be a bit worried if I were Collier tbh
