Despite the mass exodus of the ‘golden generation’, Exeter also find themselves in great form this season and come into this weekend’s clash second in the table. A win for Rob Baxter’s men would also see them leapfrog the Saints into first place.<\/p>\n
Whilst this could create some pressure, Baxter was very keen to highlight his players should enjoy moments like these.<\/p>\n
“The last thing I said to the players was this is a top of the table clash. This is brilliant, there’s no pressure here, this is just fun, this is just great. Every single one of you should be delighted by playing in these kind of games because the lads are enjoying it.”<\/p>\n
He also added the club are very much in the ‘week by week’ mindset: “I think we’re enjoying ourselves week by week. I think we’re keeping pretty level-headed on results.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
