TOMAS FRANCIS has turned his back on Wales by signing a contract extension with Exeter Chiefs.
Wales have a 60-cap rule for players agreeing new deals with clubs outside the Principality but the prop has 48. Exeter have given deals to 29 other players, including Jack Nowell, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Stuart Hogg and Henry Slade. Gloucester have signed forwards Matt Garvey and Logovi’i Mulipola on short-term contracts.
