I've been impressed by the young Exeter #8 too. He has a step like a back but still the power to make some dents.I'm not aware of any natural #7s but we seem to have ridiculous strength in depth everywhere else.
Kvesic would be if he was playing more frequently at Exeter. Another who got shunned internationally when he should have had a shot when at Gloucester.Trinder was good again at the weekend and there is something I quite like about Olly Thorley as well.
It's not often Glos win a close one. Or win away. Or beat Bath.I think this has bought Ackermann some breathing space.
