Re: Exeter
Congratulations to Exeter. Well deserved. Wonderful club who do it the right way. Can't not admire them enough.
Exeter in some ways had a few of their most shaky moments today, that gave Racing some easy attack, but they were ice cold in the last 10-12 minutes in defense, even down to 10 men. It was a real edge of the seat 2nd half. Both sides played their part, Racing will think they could ahve won that. Exeter with the fitness and mental strength edged them through.

Racing the most dangerous side with ball in hand but Exeter the most resilient (what a defense on Racing last attack) and ruthless.
Deserved title basing on the season and happy for Baxter and Nowell

Re: Exeter
Are we going to blame it on Russell? Wasn't his fault Maginot through it over his head but he'd decided the play and was going for it whatever came at him... not good.
I also thought Nige went a bit wayne barnes towards the end there.

It's a pretty pathetic flounce.
Anyway, fair play to Exeter.

You put Dupont on this racing team and they probably win it in a canter.

Have to say they were lucky that penalty happened very near the touch or else, racing would have gone for the kick and probably nailed it.Varsity Way wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 6:53 pm That was a great match.

Btw where both team tries were scored had also a big impact on the final score with Exeter scoring their tries near the midfield while almost all racing tries being scored near the touchline which made the conversions very hard

Re: Exeter
Congrats Exeter - fully deserved and an inspiration to one time small clubs everywhere. Commiserations to Racing - so near yet not over the line for the 3rd time - that's tough.

Re: Exeter
I'd call that an element of good fortune. After all it was a pass from Racing into no one. Could have gone to anyone. But Exeter's defense afterwards took it away from being just luck.franch fan wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 6:58 pmHave to say they were lucky that penalty happened very near the touch or else, racing would have gone for the kick and probably nailed it.Varsity Way wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 6:53 pm That was a great match.

Well done, Exeter.
Shame that not a single Exeter player or coach interviewed after the game had a word for Racing - but that, sadly, is par for the course for English teams.
