Apparently Dean Mumm is Exeter’s unofficial ambassador Down Under.
The former Australia second row spent three seasons at Sandy Park, extending his deal year-on-year as he was enjoying life in Devon so much.
When he returned to the New South Wales Waratahs in 2015, word spread that if you were a Wallaby looking to make the hop into the Prem then the sun and sea of the South West were a good bet.
Since then, Nic White, Lachlan Turner, Scott Sio and Len Ikitau have arrived at Exeter, but Tom Hooper is already up there among the best Australian imports.
A nuggety, niggly back row with bags of energy, he had another superb game against Newcastle.
The 24-year-old has said he is open to prolonging his own stay. It would not be a tough negotiation.
Given the Chiefs, fourth in the table, have a seven-point cushion over fifth-placed Bristol, this campaign at least looks like being longer than Hooper might have expected when he signed on in the summer.
Campbell Ridl was a lower-key arrival in the Prem. The 21-year-old was born in Tooting in London, but relocated to his parents’ native South Africa as a young boy.
He came back to the UK partly to study at Exeter University, but an injury to Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has given him a chance to show off his rangy running and hot-stepping ability.
Ridl has opted to represent England at under-20 level and, at 6ft 5in, has qualities that will have been noted by senior selectors.
