Will Skelton owes a debt of gratitude to English rugby for transforming his career - but has a funny way of showing it.
Saracens turned the huge Australian lock into a world class player during his four years in north London. But it came back to bite them earlier this month when La Rochelle, the club he left them for, knocked them out of the Champions Cup.
That was Skelton’s third Premiership scalp of the campaign, following Northampton and Gloucester, and he plans to make it four when Exeter play the holders in Bordeaux on Sunday for a place in the final.
