Baxter ponders tighthead

EXETER Chiefs boss Rob Baxter is still deciding about potential replacement tightheads for Welsh international Tomas Francis.

Francis, below, is set to leave the Premiership and European double winners for the Ospreys this summer and Baxter has had feelers out to see who is available.

Baxter is mindful that he could be without first-choice Harry Williams for long periods with England duty but wants to give Marcus Street a chance.

He has also got Alfie Petch waiting in the wings while South African Maks Van Dyk hasn’t played a minute since he was signed following a spell with Harlequins.
