Exeter's Fisilau Backed for England Call-Up by Baxter

Exeter's Fisilau Backed for England Call-Up by Baxter

Exeter Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter has backed Greg Fisilau for an England opportunity after the young forward started all of the club's Premiership and European matches this season. The 22-year-old back-rower has been a consistent presence in Exeter's pack, featuring in every league and continental fixture during the current campaign.

Baxter, who has overseen Fisilau's development at Sandy Park, believes the player's form warrants consideration by England head coach Steve Borthwick. Fisilau's ability to operate across the back row and his work-rate in both attack and defence have marked him out as a potential international prospect.

The Exeter academy product made his senior debut in 2022 and has since established himself as a first-choice selection. His all-action performances in the Premiership and Champions Cup have drawn praise from pundits and opposition coaches alike.
