- Immanuel Feyi-Waboso returned to training after scans showed no serious damage from his leg injury, raising hopes he could play for Exeter and England in upcoming matches.
- Feyi-Waboso missed the Six Nations due to a January hamstring injury but was a key performer in last summer’s Nations Championship, scoring tries against Fiji and Argentina.
- Exeter head coach Ali Baxter expressed optimism about Feyi-Waboso’s availability, calling him an 'international quality player' and emphasizing the importance of his recovery progress.
- Tom Hooper sustained a shoulder knock in Bristol’s match but scans confirmed no catastrophic injury, with Exeter stating he could feature against Harlequins and will be fit for Australia’s Nations Championship fixtures.
- Australia will face England, Scotland, and Wales in the upcoming Nations Championship, with Hooper expected to be available for selection despite recent injury concerns.
Why it matters: England gains a proven attacking option in Feyi-Waboso just before critical Nations Championship matches, while Australia retains Tom Hooper for their campaign—both recoveries preserve squad strength for teams needing high performance in a condensed international window.
