Exeter Chiefs flanker Tom Johnson is hoping his impressive on-field display in Saturday’s Aviva Premiership win over London Irish was enough to win him a place amongst Stuart Lancaster’s England squad for this weekend’s crunch RBS Six Nations clash with Wales at Twickenham.
With Saracens No.8 Billy Vunipola sidelined with a knee injury sustained in the recent win over Ireland, Lancaster will now have to make an enforced change to his back-row for the penultimate fixture in this season’s tournament.

Head coach Rob Baxter believes Ceri Sweeney has a key role to play within the Exeter Chiefs make-up after he today agreed terms on a new one-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club.
The experienced 34-year-old fly-half is the latest Chief to commit his future to the Devon club, whom he joined last summer after five seasons playing in the Welsh capital with the Cardiff Blues.
Sweeney's decision to extend his stay at Sandy Park is not only a welcome boost for Baxter, but will ensure the Chiefs have plenty of options in the crucial No.10 jersey along with Gareth Steenson and...

Tongan star Fetu’u Vainikolo will be out to make his mark when Exeter Chiefs tackle Saracens in the Aviva Premiership tomorrow (3.15pm).
The 29-year-old winger is set to make only his second top flight start as he is one of two inclusions Rob Baxter has made to the Chiefs starting XV ahead of their trip to Allianz Park.

It’s the kind of thing you dream of as a youngster, but tomorrow Jack Nowell’s dreams will become reality when the Exeter Chiefs star runs out for England at Twickenham for the first time in his fledgling international career. The 20-year-old has again been named in Stuart Lancaster’s starting XV for their latest Six Nations encounter against Ireland. Fresh from victory away to Scotland a fortnight ago at Murrayfield, England will now be looking to throw a spanner in the works of the visiting Irish, who themselves have yet to taste defeat in this season’s competition following wins over...
Ben Moon says it's vital Exeter Chiefs cut out the "silly mistakes" if they are to challenge as one of the leading lights in the Aviva Premiership this season.
The 24-year-old prop could not hide his disappointment after the Chiefs slipped to yet another narrow defeat when they went down 27-23 to rivals Bath at Sandy Park last Saturday.
Back-to-back home defeats to Northampton Saints and Bath have left Rob Baxter's sitting in eighth position, some ten points adrift of fourth-placed Harlequins, who occupy the last of the four play-off berths.
