Mixing it up with starting front rows, keeping them as great units. The pack is strong and mobile so let’s hope we can control ball.
Happy with all the selections, but to be honest nobody has let the team down if chosen this season, especially the youngsters on their premiership journey.
Would hope for a good win, but Bristol have some cracking individuals.

Hoping for another cracking performance from the lads, playing what's in front of them and showing no fear.
Strong opposition, with a lot of experience to come from the bench, might be a tough day at the office. Going with head over heart on this.
Exeter 23 Bristol 25.

Wow that is a powerful pair of centres Bristol have there!

The battle between the centres could be pivotal, if we can subdue Vakatawa and stop BJvR offloading we could get the win, Chiefs 32 - 24 Bears.

Surprised they haven’t started with Randal and Thacker but a dangerous pair to come off the bench. Hopefully we can get ascendency in the scrum and build a good early lead and run them ragged. Going for Chiefs 40 Bears 24.

If we keep Vakatawa quiet, we can edge this. Great to see Olly back in the starting line up.

Line speed crucial with their centre partnership. I back our fwds to gain ascendancy esp if the weathers bad. Having predicted two home defeats so far and thankfully been hopelessly wrong, I’ve got to stick to the format……Chiefs 22 Bears 25

According to the Bears forum, they have beefed up their pack, maybe to counteract our improved scrummaging, it could allow Vintcent a bit more time and space to exploit with his pace if we continue our set piece reliability.

So far I've predicted only losses. I'm going to change my routine this week, if we lose blame me! I think we'll have to much for them up front, bears bench looks tasty though so we need to start fast. Chiefs 38 Briz 32.
Looking at the Briz forum the unavailable/injured list is some team!
Good time to play them!
