Bath have named their team early - presumably because they also have a game against Edinburgh this weekend.

Well that is a very strong Bath lineup, full of regular first team players. Will be interesting to see how we respond. I’ve just bought my match ticket, great weather forecast, looking forward to a great game. Hope to see a good number of Chiefs fans there!
Well that is just disgraceful, don’t Bath realise you aren’t supposed to name a strong team? What is the world coming to, I don’t know…. 
I suppose I should wait to see our line up before trying to predict the score, although my performance to date suggests that it’ll make little difference…

That's a great looking team.
Interesting to see how Fisilau gets on after Vincent's performance last week.
It's also interesting that Rus Tuima seems to have been permanently moved to lock. AFAIK he didn't start in the Row once before this season.
Chiefs 36 Bath 22

That is avery good looking Bath team with a very strong bench. With home advantage I think Bath will win 30-24
Still no sign of Hepburn, Woody, Stu or Capstick. Toughest test so far, head over heart, Bath 24 - 21 Chiefs but what do I know.
Bath will go well this year I think. They’ve been on the brink for a while. Strong teams, unfortunately I think theirs is the better squad now.
Bath 29 Ex 19

Bath really going for this.
Their board seems to think that all results against Jersey will be scrubbed which will mean, if that happens, we are only 3 points ahead of them in the table!
Am pretty confident of a win......its going to be tight....

Will be an interesting match up, they have a good team on paper, but that’s been the case for ten years but apart from one season hasn’t proved on the pitch.
This coach may change that with shrewd signings, will go either way, will be interesting to see how the pack holds up, we are very mobile.
No injuries is all I care about, for both teams. We may just squeak it.

Good looking teams from both.
Can we make it 5 out of 5……yes of course…..will we….. I’ve a feeling Bath might edge it
Bath 27 Chiefs 23

Using my usual metric of comparing the number of internationals in the respective squads it seems to be approx 11-3 in Barfs favour. I don’t think we can count on them underperforming as of old so it’s going to be an interesting battle, and probably indicative of where we will be this season overall.
Think Bath will dominate the set piece and as that usually wins games I’ll go for Bath 42 Chiefs 18.
Fear Bath will win with dominant possession and home advantage. On paper I think Bath's sub's especially their front row are much stronger than ours. Please no injuries or cards. I like Sarah Cox as a referee and hope she has a good game. Bath 38 Chiefs 20

I also think we could struggle up front so Bath 34 - 18 Exe but I could be wrong! (again)
Bath going for a win as we are too but home advantage l think will prevail:
Bath 31 - 25 Chiefs
Bath 31 - 25 Chiefs
Head says Bath, but I will be there cheering on Chiefs so
Bath 24 27 Chiefs. Everything crossed.
Bath 24 27 Chiefs. Everything crossed.
I too think we could struggle up front, we have a lot of young players in the back five. Bath, on top of picking up the Worcester boys, have made some solid and exciting additions, I think they could well challenge for the league this year. With that in mind I'm going for Bath 34 Chiefs 15
It will be interesting to see if we adapt our game using the pace in our backline. Hope I'm hugely wrong in my prediction again!!!

As has been said elsewhere Bath have had a very decent squad of front line players for a number of years but they haven't produced the results on the pitch.
I expect them to be too strong today but I won't be surprised if our side surprises me.
I am not going but looking forward to seeing how we go. This will be our toughest test so far this season so it will give everyone a much better understanding of where we are with this new look side.
🤞

Bath 31 Chiefs 33 Forever hopefull. Perhaps why I never win the prediction league?
Bath 27 - Chiefs 34
In Rob we trust.
By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

Loads of mistakes, sounds like the ref missed a lot, poor first half, must be be better next week.
A bit of a mixed bag this week with some allowing hearts to rule heads. Big Chief Little Chief garnered 5 points with his 34 - 15 prediction. Table this week .....
