Exeter Chiefs duo Jack Nowell and Henry Slade were both on the scoresheet as England concluded their World Cup with a comprehensive 60-3 rout of Uruguay in Manchester.
Winger Nowell crossed three times for Stuart Lancaster’s side, as did No.8 Nick Easter, while Anthony Watson plundered two and there was also a debut score for Slade and a penalty try.
With Lancaster opting to field four fly-halves in his back division, it was Slade, the Exeter centre who used his second cap to produce a performance – albeit against outclassed opponents – that begged the question why this was...

The competition organisers are appealing to any songwriter, young or old, who has penned a song that has never been brought to the attention of the public. This could be your chance to let that song be heard by a national audience.
The Lost Songs concept was the brainchild of Ticking Tree’s songwriter ADMAN, who says, “I’ve been thinking for a while that there must be a plethora of beautiful songs that have been...

Devon County Council has invested over £60,000 in a new boat to help rangers deal with the increasing problem of weed growth in the Grand Western Canal.
The canal and country park, which is managed by the County Council, is surrounded by farmland, which means the water is nutrient rich and excessive amounts of water plants and algae grow.
Councillor Roger Croad, Devon County Council’s Cabinet Member responsible for the Grand Western Canal, explains: “Removing weeds is an essential part of maintaining the canal as they suppress the growth of less dominant plants, and can...
