2 rounds left and a home semi secured but Rob Baxter will be putting the Chiefs through some pretty tough routines following the last two games at Sandy Park. A defeat to Wasps and a far from comfortable win over Quins has left Rob Baxter with a different sort of conundrum to solve. He referred in interview that he feels the squad are in an emotional vacuum, well I don't think they'll be there ling as he is a past master at shaking things up. Maybe tjhis will turn out to be the sort of situation that sees the Chiefs well prepared for their Semi-final. If that's the case a final could beckon and I think they'll be well prepared to take anyone on. More than likely it will be Sarries but who knows! However the Chiefs have still to navigate the remaining fixtures against Sarries and Saints.

I've no idea what's going to happen v Sarries next but I'm expecting a different Chiefs performance when Saints come to SP...... If its still a bit off the pace I'd be concerned for the Semi Final.
I drink and forget stuff!
When we are good we are very very good but when we are bad we are awfull See what i did there!)
Wasps and Quins slowed the game down at every opportunity and I am not convinced that was not some skulduggery at scrum time by Quins!
Sorry, but I could be a bit one-eyed ...
As for our opponents, well both Saints and Quins are a tricky prospect but I think I'd rather tackle Quins.
We have a hugely talented side that are incredibly well coached BUT I still personally don't think we are streetwise enough and lack experience in the bigger matches when we cannot impose our game on our opponents. Especially true in Europe imo.
It's no coincidence to me that we beat Wasps in the final when we had Geoff P and TTTE in the side and we haven't replaced that leadership and are not as cute since. On the flip side the players we have players that are getting experience that will be beneficial in the future.
Personally I think we need Nic White for his big match experience,nouse,gamesmanship as well as his all round play so replacing him with another 9 that can really boss a game is imperative imo.
As good as our young 9s may be we need a 9 that can control a game from there and I don't believe we have that at the moment.

When I first saw the topic headline I was wondering if "2 left" was going to be the amount of people posting on this forum judging by the @#$%& and baiting on other topics..... lol.
Thanks Zyder Head!
Sometimes there is the need to sort the wheat from the chaff ...
I'm just hoping they're keeping these moves in reserve to be used in the semi and final, whilst playing the retain possession side to side tactic for the last 4 games, lulling opposition coaches for the semi/final into a false game plan against us.
