    That's fair.

    Interesting omission!

    Absolutely agree.

    When a bunch of us went to Sandy Park with Leinster for their first season in Europe (2013?) it was a superb day out. Chiefs are a brilliant community club, great fans, lovely old fashioned ground and atmosphere.

    Only Premiership team to make a profit (because they actually have passionate fans), should have had a Premiership trophy in the last few years had anyone bothered about Saracens' cheating before last season.

    I can relax now and properly enjoy this game now that Sarseholes are out.

    It's like that glorious moment when Kerry get knocked out of the championship, no relaxation until they're gone.

    The try was magic and thankfully won it because Owens was pretty dire.

    The offside and the "Knock on" near the end were brutal misses.

    It's lovely to see Toulouse play the ball so quickly out the ruck

    I don't think many neutrals would be shouting for either to be honest.

    Pity Toulouse and Exeter are on othe same side of the draw. I'd go into a final there happy for either side should they win.

    Well if you're fully neutral watching the game you wouldn't but generally think if people wanted either team to win it would be Racing.

    Oh not an omission at all. I think Zebo at least has a Six Nations, right?

    I was always under the impression Ryan has never won a major championship that he has actively won, if you get me.

    Some strange decisions by Exeter so far. Choosing the line out over the posts for a penalty earlier and then choosing an overthrow move on a line out when it looks windy there.

    Early enough in the game but I’m beginning to feel like these decisions are why Exeter have failed in Europe to date. Choosing to go for the corner and backing yourself is grand in the Prem when you’re pack is better then everyone but isn’t the wisest against a bulky pack like the likes of Toulouse, Racing etc. Hope I’m wrong though.

    He has a medal, but no he didn't play in that final.

    Nowell should be carded for stuff like that. Dirty cheap shot

    What did Nowell do? It’s not been a good week for smart decisions on his part.

    That first breakdown at the try line should have been a yellow and penalty advantage. Clear as day.

    I still don't know how they butchered that overlap.

    Exeter incredibly lucky there, their 8 completely spoiled the ruck and the momentum, no idea what the AR was looking at.

    Yeah. Disappointed to see Leinster's run scuppered but I'm glad Saracens won't lift the trophy.

    I honestly thought it would be Toulouse's year before the second game today but Exeter were too organised for them and when Toulouse did get a platform they squandered it.

    Racing have knocked on the door a bit more than Exeter in this competition and might have that confidence to push on having toppled Saracens in the manner they did.

    Hard not to admire Exeter though, the most professional of the Premiership teams in my opinion.

    Irish players on both teams and neither have won it before so hard to be anything other than a neutral.
