That's Exeter of old, superb control, discipline, and decision making sees them carry it all the way to the line. Well done Yeandle, makes up for the howler earlier.

Kick to win it !

Great underdog win. And to be fair that's the best I've seen them play for a while. Great game tbh, plenty of adventure considering the two teams involved.

What's the deciding factor to Exeter winning there?

How does this shower qualify for a home 1/4? :problem:

Ospreys with the opening try after Farrell misses a simple midfield tackle. Ospreys offloading and playing with pace. Saracens strike back immediately with a pen at the kick off leading to a maul that seems to have been grounded.

Not grounded.

George then bombs a try after excellent attacking by Farrell with excellent carries from others too. Looks like they're up for this.

Was hoping that Bulls Toulouse might be a bit of a treat, but it's started to rain pretty heavily.

Tompkins throws an intercept, Saracens miss tackles en masse, and Tipuric's break is eventually finished off by the impressive Williams.

Could definitely be an upset here as per my earlier post

Saracens looking pretty rattled. Farrell bombs a great opportunity by knocking on 5m out when going for the line himself

Saracens scrum bails them out though

The New Gibbs is binned, a little harshly, for a borderline call when trying to turn over Earl (who's been good so far)

Not sure if Malins has scored that but that's a great effort in contact, he had to go through several people to score that.

Ospreys scrum is losing them this game.

"Always in control of the ball" "Downward pressure"

Neither of these things are true :lol:

This is a worse than usual case of homer ref.

Just looked to see what the fuss was about. Actually think it was fair enough. Would be pissed if that was ruled out for my team.

Don't think he lost the ball and his thumb's applying the pressure for me.

Looked a try on the big screen.

Pretty tasty on and off the pitch, Sarries were rattled but hopefully settled now.

Mako having a stormer. Billy having a flipper handed stinker.

Some more weird decision making at times so far by Saracens. Farrell deciding at the last second to not kick return but instead pass to an isolated Maitland who immediately got turned over was the latest.

Lots of inaccuracy today.

Bulls tackler unlucky there. He made too good a job of it and ended up getting Lebel's legs into the air.

Ospreys 20-13 up now after picking off a Billy Vunipola pass for an intercept and getting an eventual penalty.

Saracens getting picked off at will at the breakdown, too.

Lovely work by Goode, albeit poorly defended by Ospreys. All square now.

Because Carley got it wrong and having already called use it, the scrum was technically over. I'd have been p*ssed if that had gone against Toulouse.
