It'sThis Saturday sees a return to Premiership action and I can't wait.

Back to the Serious Stuff

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter

I know that cup rugby is a serious business but for me Premiership action always excites me more.  I'm not sure why this is the case but I think seeing the Chiefs battle away for a whole season somehow means more.   That's not to say I didn't enjoy last season's LV=Cup victory but I'd happily swap it for an AP semi-final spot.  This to me would signal the Chiefs moving on to become a Premiership powerhouse.   And who's to say we can't do it this season?   We're currently sitting in 5th place but need to get back our early season form and show some much needed consistency.   Firstly we have to deal with a much improved Falcons side who turned us over on their patch.  I'm sure Rob & Co. have been getting the guys prepared to ensure there's no chance of complacency.   Captain fantastic looked like he has recovered fully from injury and the guys will have had cnance to charge their batteries.   They will be looking forward to hearing the Tomahawk Chop ringing around Sandy Park as we play our part in hopefully sending the Falcons home with clipped wings.

COME ON YOU CHIEFS....CHIEFS....CHIEFS

I'm with you Colin. Cup games are an exiting distraction and a great opportunity for RB and the team to use different players but the League has to be the priority.
Falcons ate a much improved side and I'm expecting a cracking game.

Time for a pipe of Old Toby!

Looking forward to seeing some premiership action again & hoping for a good game.
But the weather could well play a part in what sort of game we get?
Been cold & dry now for some time, so the pitch will be firm, looks like rain on Friday could make things a bit tricky underfoot ?
The premiership is obviously the priority - But I Would not swap watching the LV= cup final, and seeing Dean mumm lift the trophy on home soil, for anything in the world !

Be sure to treat every day on this earth as if it were your last...one day you will be right. (Jethro)
