England forwards coach Richard Cockerill accepted that the loss of Luke Cowan-Dickie for the remainder of the Six Nations is a “blow”, but hinted that another Exeter Lion, Jonny Hill, could be back for next week’s game against Ireland.
Exeter confirmed on Thursday that Cowan-Dickie has a “significant” knee injury that will certainly keep him out for the remainder of the Six Nations and perhaps the rest of the season.
