Match Preview
Exeter Chiefs v Moseley
Exeter Chiefs v Moseley
We're now at the pen-ulimate match in the 1st part of the both sides season with Mose coming to Sandy Park. The Chiefs have assured their play-off place and likely final place in the league. However Mose still have a lot to play for.
They currently lie in 8th place and may whave done enough to claim a promotion play-off place but Albion or Roth could still consign them to a relegation play-off place. Mose will have a tough job to gain points with only this game and Bristol to conclude their Championship 'league' campaign.
| Team | P | W | D | L | F | A | BP | PTS | |
| 1 | Bristol | 19 | 17 | 0 | 2 | 535 | 297 | 13 | 81 |
| 2 | Exeter | 20 | 17 | 0 | 3 | 601 | 329 | 10 | 78 |
| 3 | London Welsh | 20 | 13 | 1 | 6 | 452 | 324 | 9 | 58 |
| 4 | Bedford | 20 | 11 | 1 | 8 | 536 | 387 | 9 | 55 |
| 5 | Nottingham | 20 | 11 | 0 | 9 | 483 | 453 | 10 | 54 |
| 6 | Cornish Pirates | 20 | 10 | 1 | 9 | 484 | 416 | 8 | 50 |
| 7 | Doncaster | 19 | 9 | 0 | 10 | 351 | 312 | 7 | 43 |
| 8 | Moseley | 20 | 9 | 0 | 11 | 395 | 482 | 6 | 42 |
| 9 | Plymouth Albion | 20 | 8 | 1 | 11 | 333 | 428 | 5 | 39 |
| 10 | Rotherham Titans | 20 | 6 | 0 | 14 | 384 | 476 | 12 | 36 |
| 11 | Coventry | 20 | 5 | 1 | 14 | 315 | 487 | 5 | 12 |
| 12 | Birmingham & Solihull | 20 | 0 | 1 | 19 | 260 | 738 | 4 | -9 |
BUT as we know only too well you can never take anything for granted against Mose. Any point gained by them will be invaluable and I imagine they won't be looking for an expansive, free scoring game. I expect them to want to keep it in their forwards and grind out a tight game. This will be an interesting challenge for the Chiefs, which I'm sure they will relish.
BUT I expect Rob & Co. to start letting 'The Rabbit Out of The Bag' as the Chiefs build momentum into the play-off phase of the Championship and I fully expect a resounding victory for the Chiefs.

Re: Championship round 20 - Chiefs v Moseley
A belated thanks Moorsan for this good preview. I note that (at last) Paul Mckenzie is on the bench and this coming a week after the Rugby Times article entitled "McKenzie's prepared to bide his time" 
do any self-styled club insiders want to enighten the tribe?
I hope that Paul get's a chance to stretch his legs today.
