Exeter Chiefs Academy manager Robin Cowling says it’s imperative young players at the club are exposed to senior rugby through link-ups with local senior clubs.
On the day that the Chiefs confirmed that Ed Holmes, Jack Maunder, Harrison Cully and Billy Keast would all be joining National League One side Plymouth Albion on dual-registered terms, former England international Cowling talked through the benefits it brings to not only clubs, but the players themselves.

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