HENRY SLADE could go down as one of the unluckiest players never to play for the British & Irish Lions, says three-time tourist and England legend Will Greenwood.

Exeter Chiefs centre Slade was one of the most notable absentees in the 37-man squad named by head coach Warren Gatland back in May, with the likes of Scotland's Chris Harris and Ireland's Bundee Aki preferred in the midfield.

While the Lions were beating Japan 28-10 in their Tour opener at BT Murrayfield last weekend Slade was busy on domestic duty, as Exeter fell narrowly short of successfully defending...

Chiefs fab four star in England win

A delighted Eddie Jones described England’s victory over Argentina in San Juan on Saturday as one of the best team efforts he has been associated with during his coaching career.

The Red Rose country, who included Exeter Chiefs quartet Harry Williams, Henry Slade, Jack Maunder and Don Armand (pictured) in their ranks, fought back from 31-23 down to snatch a last-gasp 38-34 victory.

Argentina replacement fly-half Juan Martin Hernandez thought he had won the first test for the Pumas with his late drop-goal, but replacement winger Denny Solomona, one of 10 new caps, went over...

Chiefs grind out a victory

This wasn’t the vintage, high-octane rugby we’ve seen at other times this season from Exeter Chiefs, but nevertheless the five precious points Rob Baxter’s side picked up were celebrated just as much, if not better.

Devon’s finest ground out their 11th league win of the season against a gutsy Newcastle Falcons outfit who, for at least an hour at Sandy Park, matched their higher-placed rivals toe-to-toe.

In the end, the Chiefs had just too much in their attacking arsenal for Dean Richards’ side and netted another maximum haul courtesy of Elvis Taione’s late score.

Rob Baxter welcomes Henry Slade back into the Exeter Chiefs mix for the first time since early December when he starts against Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership tomorrow (3pm). The England international has not figured for the Devon club since breaking his leg and damaging ankle ligaments in Exeter’s impressive away win at Wasps. However, the 22-year-old playmaker has worked tirelessly to return to full fitness and Baxter has wasted little time in recalling the Plymouth-born back to his starting line-up. Slade is one of seven changes the Chiefs have made to their side that went...

Baxter confirms double injury blow

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says its likely England star Henry Slade will be sidelined for roughly four months after sustaining a broken leg and ankle damage in his side’s 41-27 win over Wasps on Saturday.

Centre Slade was stretchered off with just 15 minutes remaining at the Ricoh Arena following a tackle from home winger Sailosi Tagicakibau as he looked to clear out the Exeter playmaker.

Slade, 22, had a plate and wiring inserted during what Baxter described as ‘a pretty major operation’ on Sunday.

The loss of Slade is an untimely blow for both club and...
