Hello everyone and welcome back to the World Red channel. We're bringing back a split

0:15.8

opinions which has an egg on the channel for around two years just to talk about

0:19.6

Sadio Manage Exeter in the club and who can possibly replace him.

0:23.8

We've got Pat Smith and Math Allison,

0:26.1

who's going to be arguing the cases

0:28.8

of Darwin Nunez and Christopher Unkunku.

0:34.0

So what do you think, boys? Pass.

0:35.0
