I can understand why Hogg is playing these are big hard hitting units so keep Hodge back for the league. Stable side with the youngster a bit more knowledgeable every outing, good to see Olly has recovered, let’s hope he’s on top form for restarts.
Tough ask, as long as the boys show they are doing their best, no complaints from me if we lose.
The main thing like last week we must vocally get behind them, it’s been said to many times by players how it helps. So buy a beer take your places and hold on for the ride.

Our roads are paved with hope, and there are no stop signs.

Good team but good enough!?? Sean O'brien seems to be v in favour for first time since moved here.
Got to be optimistic 24-23 but everything crossed!

Stormers are without their No6 Deon Fourie who was their MoM last week v Quins and had an outstanding game. Not sure how the travelling has affected them but it will be a really tough battle, they are 2nd in the URC and think it might be a game to far for us but who knows!
Sticking my neck out and hoping the crowd will really get behind the team to lift them to a win, Chiefs 28 Stormers 21
I think we use up all our luck last week, 100 mins and a day less, plus we didnt play really well last week, all points to a Stormers win by 20 points
IMO If we loss that’s our season over, hopefully that will drive them on.

Big ask tomorrow let’s hope for a good game no cards or injuries

I think they will be too powerful for us so - Exeter 24 - 34 Stormers
Not convinced that last week yet signals a significant change ...
Chiefs 21 Stormers 35
In Rob we trust.
By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

Not an easy decision, as I’d love us to grab this one by the b…s and come out of the blocks running.
However l think their pack will make the difference.
Chiefs 21 - 31 Stormers
We are Exeter, We are Chiefs

We have not played at our best for a long time. If we do and stormers flag after travel Chiefs 34 Stormers 31. If we are below our beat and stormers adapt well to travel it could be very painful..Key person Raynal with interpretation of scrum and breakdown
We can’t do it again this week can we???
Heart says the long goodbye lasts another week.
Head says that given our season both on and off the pitch, to get to QF is about our limit and possibly above expectation.
Chiefs 19 Stormers 28

I think they may just have a little too much, but going to be positive. Chiefs 29 Stormers 25
Given our season so far a quarter final is better than expected. Unfortunately, I can't see us having the power to win this one. That's a fearsome stormers pack! Chiefs 19 Stormers 40.
Would love to have a win but we think this is as far as we go............

Oh to be wrong!!

I continue to live in hope (not to mention that I have no hope of winning PC's comp, so what the heck!)
Chiefs 30 - 28 Stormers
Chiefs 30 - 28 Stormers
Stormers are very physical, expect some injuries to the Chiefs.
Hope I am wrong in my prediction.

If Chiefs
> are card-free for the full 80 minutes
> give away less than 8 penalties in the game
> front up in the pack and defend like trojans
> back themselves to go wide and also chip'n'chase
And Stormers
> get a red card in the first half
We stand a good chance....
It's not beyond us to win this by any means! I believe the ref and cards will be the decisive factor.
Chiefs 25 - 23 Stormers

Oh ye of little faith!
It seems South African teams aren’t invincible after all…

Are you telling me your bum didnt twitch after those 2 tries on the 2nd half 😂
Stunning! IMHO no other word for it!
Happy to be very wrong in my prediction.

By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

Almost worth claiming in a bizarre, possibly typo error, prediction😂
Quite a lot of us got that badly wrong! Keithbar54 and Chief Firewater both correctly predicted Stormers’ score; strangely no-one got Chiefs’ score right. Decent crowd made their presence felt!
