The Rec has become a difficult place for us to steal four points from and though we have a significantly stronger squad when compared to previous fixtures, I think Bath are too strong for us.
Would love to be proven wrong, though! Bath 37 - 24 Chiefs.
Cueto wasn't in touch, at least in my dreams.

Safe journeys to all Chiefs fans coming up for the match - a reminder to leave in plenty of time as the Bath Christmas Market is on and that will cause the usual headaches for parking and getting into the City Centre.
2 Strong sides and hopefully will be a cracking match - really looking forward to seeing Russell up against Slade if anyone can step up Slade can but big ask and a lot will come down to who wins the forward battle.
Still we have a few missing in Underhill, Coetzee, Obano and Bailey, hoping for a good match. Best Wishes.

I’ve been pretty consistently wrong so far this season, so I see no reason to stray from that path.
Chiefs 33; Bath 31
By the way, I hope Sara Cox has the cojones to red card Quinn Roux for his inevitable violent play…

I like the look of that line up. Sladey at 10 makes sense! We can't afford to leave him out. It's important we build on Rigg/Tua as a solid partnership. Things have changed and I'm hopeful rather than confident that we could cause an upset 🤞
Bath 23 : Chiefs 27
In Rob we trust.
By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

Pleased to see Slade at 10, tho a big ask to knit the back line together after presumably little time to ‘run it’ in training.

Wow! Sladey at 10! Didn't see that coming!!
Although I like it as it should have been his natural position for the last 10 years and more it's not a vote of confidence in either of our current fly halves is it?
Agree with most of the other posters that our pack looks underpowered. I can see the logic in trying to move their pack around with mobility rather than strength but I will have my eyes closed at scrum time! Especially second half when our replacements come on after last week's scrum capitulation at Glos.
Its not a bad side but it's not our best and to beat them up there I think we would need our best side to play as well as they can.
Fingers crossed I am wrong 🤞

Going tp stick my neck out and go for a chiefs win 27- 21 it will be a close call though.
After Falcons' win last night we really need to get something out of this game. Unfortunately, I think the best we can hope for is a LBP and maybe, a TBP.

I'm afraid my negativity rules here! That's a very strong Bath side, I was hoping they might have rested a few internationals! I'd never really expect to win up there anyway, so just an improved performance will please me. Bath 35 Chiefs 19
Our last game was a breath of fresh air albeit against a poor Gloucester first half performance. I agree that a good performance with positive tactics will be another big step forward. Keep Vermeulen on the pitch and we will go better.
