ERC opposition watch 2016/17

What an awful game. I know that we are never good and involved before a Champions Cup game but we can't play like that.

Worse game for at least a year...

Niko Matalawu has left Baaath and joined Exeter till the end of the season. Exciting player, but you don't know what he will do next!

So a double header v Clermont coming up, their last 4 results are:

L 40-35 Pau (A)
W 16-13 Lyon (H)
L 22-14 Bayonne (A)
W 21-20 Grenoble (H)

Sitting top of the table, so must be playing well. In the Top 14, it's all about winning the home games. So far in the League Clermont are 6/6 at home and from 7 away games, have 2 wins and 2 draws.

I have some concerns about our defense. Even against Cardiff I felt that we were still defending narrow and there was space out wide. Cardiff made too many unforced errors to punish us. A team like Clermont will, severely punish that.
