What an amazing achievement for Exeter. A thoroughly deserved victory in a nail-biting final. When Tomas Francis got sin binned it looked touch and go, but the Chiefs showed real character in holding on and securing the win.
Astonishing how far they have come in 10 years. A young side who are very easy to like.

I only wish Worcester could be half as successful.
I remember when WRFC was made up of mates from RGS and Kings. Then along came Cecil and we stormed through the Leagues - I think it was 8 in 10 years. Then we hit the Premiership and stalled. Every season we have to rely on someone being worse than us to stay up.....

My father was born in Llanelli, I was born in Torbay. I was very into playing Rugby in the 70s & 80s. It was a sad fact the Wales defeated England in a fast & open game every bloody time.
I saw Max Boyce live much later in the 90s & boy was he funny.

I love this photo. For me it epitomizes what is great about Rugby as a sport. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/18/D7682AE2-7D6C-4CEA-A364-147F9AA0265C.jpg)
