Horrible weather at HQ meant it was never going to reach the heights of last year as a game, nor even when Exe last played Wasps in the final. However, it was on a knife edge deep into the last 5 mins. A botched line out followed by back to back penalties ensured the Chiefs could see the game out
CMK did well, I thought he was consistent to both sides and across the 80 minutes. May not have agreed with everything but didnt make any key, game changing errors. 2 sides who like to play rugby and rarely make it more difficult for the ref.
On an aside Simon Harding the senior AR has "only" ever reffed Prem Cup matches, Paul Dix is full time AR, 4th was Mike Hudson who has reffed up to Championship and 5th was Jamie Leahy, relatively new to list. Relatively old head as TMO, who I dont remember him having anything to do!
Equivalent to having Stuart Attwell, James Linnington and Darren Cann, with Matt Donohue and James Mainwaring on the Premier League decider
