AFTER a flakey start, Stuart Hogg showed almost super-human stamina when he scored Exeter’s 77th minute try against Wasps, last weekend.
To be able to sprint almost 90 metres, in the final three minutes of the game, is testament to his fitness and tenacity. Surely a must for the Lions.
The Falcons are the antithesis of Exeter at the moment, and their game against Bristol was an example of deplorable fitness and apathy. After a good start to their season, could the ring-fence be having a detrimental effect?
