Well, stick a fork in me, I must be dreaming! A clash of titans, this ain't. Got the rudely unstoppable Bath Rugby lined up against...well, the perpetually stoppable Exeter Chiefs.
Let me paint a picture for you. Bath Rugby's been commandingly strong this season. Currently positioned numero uno in the English Premiership--and for good reason. They've been handing out whopping sessions as if they're running a school for adolescent kangaroos, outclassing teams like Harlequin FC and Gloucester Rugby as if it were just a warm-up. They hold a pretty flashy 11-2 record from this season, which really puts the sparkle on their bling.
Now switching gears to the Chiefs...Well, they've been rather idling this season, I must say. Number 9 might be a good roll on the roulette, but in the Premiership, it certainly doesn't pop the champagne. Their record reads like a helping of alphabet soup, and unfortunately for them, it's mostly L's. Their 3-10 scorecard just doesn't do much apart from fanning the flames of their fans' sorrow. Their recent win against the Falcons was a silver lining, but then they plummeted again versus the Bears.
Considering the past bouts between these two teams, Bath's been quite comfortably nestled in the Chief's discomfort zone. Out of the last five games, four broad smiles have graced the faces of those from Bath, with margins as wide as a hippo's happy grin.
So, with all due respect to game predictions, and with an absence of profanity as you know I often say, "clear as a beanstalk’s conscience". I mean, Exeter Chiefs would need a miracle on the scale of the moon landing to pull a rabbit out of this hat.
Albert's Prediction: Bath Rugby by 17.
