Rob Baxter responds to reports that one of his Exeter stars is leaving

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter says he expects England hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie to stay at Sandy Park.

“I like the fact that five or six clubs want Luke Cowan-Dickie, that shows just what a very good player he is and how influential he’ll be,” Baxter said.

“Do I think that’ll stop me keeping him? I don’t think that at all.”

Baxter told BBC Sport: “I think he’ll be an Exeter Chiefs player next year.”
