Exeter Chiefs vs Sale Sharks preview
We are just past the midway point in the Premiership campaign and the top six clubs have pulled away in the race for four playoff areas, leaving a considerable 12-point gap between them and the rest.
Sale are the very best of the rest, having won simply 3 of ten matches, all against the only groups listed below them in the table, and it's rather a succumb to a group who have actually made the playoffs in the last 3 seasons and reached the last in 2023.
Exeter, by contrast, are just a point outside the top 4 after back-to-back beats in January and will be excited to return to winning ways versus poor travellers Sale.
The Chiefs have internationals back consisting of locks Dafydd Jenkins, who captains the side, and Andrea Zambonin. Italy scrum-half Stephen Varney has also been called in the group while Wallaby Tom Hooper returns from injury in the back row.
In the last round of Premiership components before the break for the Six Nations, Exeter were beaten 8-3 at home by Bristol in driving rain, but they have actually won their other 4 home games by a double-figure margin, and beat the 3 groups at the bottom of the table each by more than 20.
A great go to the last of the Prem Cup means Exeter have lots of continuity about them and are revitalized by their returning gamers. The Chiefs nicked a one-point win at Sale in November and they can produce a more persuading victory on home soil.
