Rob Baxter is an absolute legend.

Exeter is a very easy team to like; they've got to where they are the right way, not by buying success and cheating (mentioning no names). They play rugby in the best spirit of the sport. a credit to achieve all this with what is a young squad (I read somewhere that the team who won the European cup had an average age of 25, the backs 23).

Mind you, they may have an issue with calling themselves the Chiefs. How long before someone accuses them of Racism through cultural appropriation ?


The snowflakes raised it down Here a few months ago and were dismissed as irrelevant, the concession I think that was made was that the mascot would no longer appear at the games which of course has made no difference at all under the present conditions.

So a Devon solution to a snowflake problem, give it time and it melts away grin2
