Didn't Waldron come very close to breaking it whilst playing 8 for you guys too? I don't watch enough Exeter to know, but it is mostly from the back of mauls/with two props latched on close to the line or is he still scoring some of the highlight reel numbers?

Yes, Waldrom was very much the blue print. although he pretty much scored all his tries from a yard out. Simmonds certainly gets more than his fair share from there, but also gets more from a diverse range, for example his third last night was from the end of a move out on the wing.
He certainly benefits from having hefty lumps at 6(Ewers) and 7(Vermuelen) who latch onto him. But also has excellent ability to burrow over the line on his own.

So Simmonds get a hat trick, breaks the premiership season record, reckon he gets an England call up now?!
