First of all - yyyyyyeeeeeessssss!!!!
Quite the emotional rollercoaster, held out in the end, to complete a very good couple of days for English club rugby.
Onto Nigel Owens, who, I like, respect but have to question his interpretation of a number of things.
He was lenient from the start, sealing off rarely penalised, extra time given to ball carrier to place ball, players not maintaining their own body weights.
Henry Slade should have seen yellow. His high, dangerous tackle was mitigated by his arm bouncing up off the shoulder but as it was high/illegal from the start as (the excellent) Ben Kay pointed out, should only have dropped to yellow.
Racing committed 9 offences in a row, warned, reminded but as tries resulted on 2 occassions, no yellow card was forth coming.
The uncertainity at the breakdown added to the excitement, if not to my high pulse.
A game full of grit, determination and pockets of brilliance, ended in slight farce with the clock issue, resolved correctly.
I hope that Exeter can repeat this in years to come so the fans can witness it first hand
