Weather Forecast as at 1200 Friday

Sunny intervals and a light winds from the south south east

Temperature 6 degrees will feel like 4 degrees

Precipitation is not expected

Both squads showing a mix of youth and experience first team regulars, should be a good game and probably going to be close, home advantage hopefully will see us nick it. Chiefs 29 - 26 Gloss.

Chiefs 36 - 18 Glos

Not predicting here, just hoping that we get a bonus point win and let Glaws leave with nothing...or the slim hope of moving on to the next stage of this comp is virtually over (looking at the maths)

Chiefs 37 - Gloucester 26

Looks like a tough match but think home advantage has me leaning towards optimism.

Chiefs 30 Gloucester 25

Looking forward to this one lots of our young lads getting another run out. No surprise Glaws have put their best 23 available out as Skivs has said this is their main target this season. The forwards will need to front up, let’s hope we can upset them and get a result, yes they must be favourites given their selection but I’m going for a narrow win. Good weather so there should be plenty of points scored. Chiefs 31 Glaws 27

Chefs 31 - 24 Glaws

Exeter 38 - 25 Gloucester

Glaws going strong but still think we'll get a win

Chiefs 28-26 Glos

Chiefs 42 Gloucester 18

That's a fairly strong Gloucester line-up, but let's hope they bring their Gallagher Prem form to Sandy Park! I think with home advantage we should prevail, but I suspect it'll be too much to ask us to deny them a try bonus point and losing bonus point.

This is a bit of a potential banana skin. I worry about the line out and hope our scrum and breakdown is good enough for our scrum half to give our backs some decent ball to work with. Heart with some trepidation Chiefs 32 Gloucs 30

It's a tough one to call. Gloucs have named a pretty strong team, I don't know enough about their injuries to know if it's as strong as they could. But outside of the orem cup their form has not been great. Our lads should be full of confidence after the last two games. Like others I worry about out line out. If we can get parity at least in the set piece I think we'll win. Chiefs 31 Gloucester 26

Naturally I'm hoping to be wrong
