Even by Exter's lowly standards Hill has a seriously iffy hair and beard combo.

Real well worked try from Chiefs after a very strong maul.
They were far enough away from the line that Sale won't feel great about conceding.
And Rob du Preez screws up the restart.

Bonus point wrapped up on the hour. Cowan-Dickie going through a couple of South Africans who'd ample time to set themselves against the tap and go.

Yup, 20 unanswered points in about 12 minutes is not a good look.

Exeter are in cruise-control mode and Sale still can't muster anything.

Tuilagi doesn't break tackles like he used to does he, looks like he's lost a lot of power.

When he's playing tighter at 12 he'll be hitting more forwards than when out in the 13 channel.
That said I think he did lose some weight, to try and reduce his injury rate.
Anyway, I'm switching over to Wasps. Will be interesting to actually get a look at Vellacott.

With no match threads, mind if I join in? No problem if not.
Never seen Bristol play before, what fun!
Being offside seems optional but at least the ref is hurrying them up

As an aside to any Falcons fans on bored, thank you for Zach Kibirige. Why didn't he get more opportunities up there? He's been great for us so far.
If memory serves, he had a few injury problems which kept him out for a while. There was also a rape allegation a couple of years back, which he was cleared of, but that took him away from the game for a while I think.
Glad to see him doing so well, still have wonderful memories of that try against Wales U20s a few years ago.

Wasps 2nd XV not looking a patch on the firsts right now. Two tries down to Worcester

Go for it, interelopers are only an issue if being needlessly dickish.

He's growing it 'til the new year for charity apparently. It'll be taller than him by then!

Wasps missing Robson's speed of thought and passing for the moment. Vellacott's not keeping the attacking tempo up and we're running into brick walls as a result. Fair play to Worcester's defence, it;s been resolute.

Hmm, Bristol game - agree that he wasn’t held but possible forward pass and I’m not sure he didn’t drop it over the line

Willis the younger dragging us back into things with a close range try. The score probably saves Worcester a card after two penalties and at leats 2 advantages in very quick succession inside their 22.

Gloucester seem a bit behind Bristol in their fitness and conditioning, also giving away really daft penalties.
However, actually fancy them to come back and win this

Certainly a strong Glaws lineup.
Almost wish I was watching that game. Wasps are agonisingly error-strewn at the moment.

Worcester finally get a warning after another string of consecutive advantages variously for offside, high tackling or failing to roll away.

C M-K with another warning after yet more multiple advantages in quick succession *eye roll*
Which apparently was only offside specific so they get a third warning for pens inside the 22.
Spared their fate as we bludgeon over for a third.

Maul our way to a bonus point with 15 seconds to spare.
Scoreline's a bit unfair to Worcester, but they have flagged badly in the last quarter and their discipline on the line was awful.
