Not surprised at all.
No issue there - he's giving up his test career, so he needs to make sure it's worth it.

Kiwis in Europe: Why New Zealand Rugby and the Chiefs still miss Charlie Ngatai
New Zealand rugby, and the Chiefs in particular, still miss Charlie Ngatai, who continued to show his class for Lyon in the French Top 14.

Bristol claim their first euro titled, with no Luatua or Piutau
Brilliant Bristol claim first ever European title
Bristol Bears produced a superb display to win their first ever European title following a thoroughly deserved 32-19 triumph over Toulon in the Challenge Cup final at the Stade Maurice-David.

Exeter Chiefs beat Racing Club Paris to claim their first European title. Exeter supremo, Rob Baxter, must now be the favourite to take over as the next England Boss once Eddie Jones moves on.
Probable but I’m not sure that it will happen, or that it should. What Makes Baxter so successful is building an environment over time that improves incrementally, he won’t have that luxury managing England. Also, he is an Exeter man through and through, not sure he would want to be somewhere else, leaving Exeter behind. I’m thinking he would need to know he’d done all he could at the club he’s been at for over 30 years.

@Catogrande I’m pretty sure after RWC 15, he said no thanks not applying. And it is a completely different type of coaching.
Go the South West, too, with Brizzul and Executur Euro champs. They both might be in Prem final too!

There are none, but it depends on where he changes planes as well.

@Catogrande Rob Baxter: Exeter boss may have England ambition says Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe
-
@sparky I saw that and was going to post but you beat me to it
Doesn't really say much apart from Tony Rowe's opinion which may depend on gin consumption - he does like a drop does Tony.
-
@Catogrande My reading of it is that Baxter is going nowhere for the next year. He wants to retain the HEC for Exeter. He might eventually apply for the England job (when there is a vacancy) but he might not.

Yeah, pretty much what you’d expect from a Lam/Luatua combination
