Rob Baxter has shed some light on Henry Slade 's Covid-19 vaccination status—and it's news many England fans will welcome ahead of their Six Nations campaign.
That's after Exeter Chiefs ' director of rugby hinted his squad won't have any medical exemptions or " Novak Djokovic business going on" when they travel to Montpellier this weekend.
The Premiership outfit will take on their Top 14 counterparts in this season's European Champions Cup on Sunday, but there were concerns Slade may be prevented from travelling.
That's because the 28-year-old—who developed Type 1 diabetes at the age of 18—has been among the most vocal British players with an opposition to the vaccine.
The playmaker has raised concerns in the past and said last year that he had "encountered issues in the past with the use of vaccines," leading many to believe he would reject the jab.
