    I found it funny how the French cameramen kept showing Junior Paramore during the game, probably thinking he was Pat Lam. Paramore got a lot of camera time because of that.

    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!

    Does anyone know whether Owen Franks will return to Northampton Saints when the new Premiership season starts? I noticed he's just returned to NZ (in managed isolation).

    @Stargazer Still listed as a Saints player website. Their next game isn't until 20th November.

    @sparky Are there quarantaine requirements upon return in England? Because, if that's also 14 days, he'd have less than a week to spend in NZ after coming out of iso.

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

    @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
