Is your name Jennifer Susan Phillips, maiden name House, you lived In Wokingham from 1950 to ?? then Dennis is looking to reconnect with you

New Exeter Chiefs signing Nic White says he feels like he has made '45 new friends' since joining the team.

The Australian international joined this summer from French Top 14 club Montpellier Herault Rugby.

With fellow Aussies such as Julian Salvi, Lachie Turner, Ollie Atkins, Ben White and Dave Dennis already embedded with the Chiefs, the scrum-half was guaranteed a warm welcome.

Nic said having fellow countrymen around him made it easier to settle in but he added: "It feels like after a couple of weeks I have 45 new best mates!"

Nowell helps create rugby history

Exeter Chiefs star Jack Nowell was part of a heroic England defensive display as the Red Rose country earned their first series win in Australia with victory in the second Test at AAMI Park in Melbourne.

Recalled to the starting line-up having been only a replacement in Brisbane the week previous, the Cornishman featured for the whole 80 minutes during an outstanding display from Eddie Jones’ side.

The win looked unlikely when they fell 10-0 behind early on as Michael Hooper and Israel Folau scored for the hosts, but Eddie Jones’ side hit back through the boot of Owen Farrell and tries from Jonathan Joseph and Marland Yarde.

After the break Australia – who included Greg Holmes and Dean Mumm in their ranks – rallied as Hooper and Tevita Kuridrani crossed...

It was with a heavy heart that Dean Mumm trudged down the players’ tunnel at Sandy Park for the final time on Saturday afternoon.

After three hugely successful years in Devon, two of which he has spent as skipper of the Exeter Chiefs, the 31-year-old is heading home to Australia to pursue a dream he thought had seemingly evaporated.

Set to return to former club the Waratahs, the vastly-experienced forward is hoping his return to Super Rugby will offer him the lifeline he needs to re-ignite a Wallabies career that to date has yielded 33 caps.
