Eight of Exeter’s rugby players will be contributing to their national teams in major 2025 tournaments.
A large group from the men’s firsts team and one student from the women’s team will be competing against 12 of the World’s best teams.
The players from the university will be representing England and Scotland.
A representative from the performance team at University of Exeter Sport said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to see eight of our students representing their respective nations.
“Their performances on the field for BUCS Super Rugby, Exeter Chiefs and international age-grade sides have not gone unnoticed, and we are pleased that they will showcase their talent again on the international stage.”
Six men from the university’s team will represent England, including some who helped win past championships.
Jed Findlay, member of the Exeter Chiefs academy, will represent Scotland after training with the Scotland U20s in Summer.
Lilly Plowman, a University of Exeter student, will play in the U20 Women’s squad for the 2025 U20’s Six Nations Summer Series.
All of the players started at Exeter College or the university’s rugby programmes.
The University of Exeter is “proud that Exeter continues to demonstrate its strength and depth across our rugby programmes,
“supporting students to progress both academically and within their sporting journeys.”
The university wishes all the students the best of luck and looks forward to welcoming them back in September.
