Do people seriously expect an Exeter type performance when we are resting the vast majority of the squad? The reaction to the win is somewhat OTT.
Our starting 15 was without Brown, Earle, Care, Marler, Crumpton, Sinckler, Horwill, Symons, Robshaw, Clifford, Dombrandt, Bothma with the vast majority rested not injured.
Last year we couldn’t buy a win. We are doing v well in the league and top of our group in Europe. The squad finally has competition with an ability to rotate.
Some perspective is needed.
