Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is backed to become one of the stars of 2027. Rugby World Cup according to his Exeter Chiefs boss Rob Baxter, who hopes he can find some consistency this season.
Baxter hopes Feyi-Waboso, who scored 17 tries in 27 appearances for club and country last season, can mount an injury-free campaign ahead of the top event in Australia next year.
Feyi-Waboso has been plagued by shoulder, hamstring, facial injuries and suspensions over the past few seasons, and Baxter believes an uninterrupted season will do the speedster a world of good.
“I think just a good, consistent season would do him a world of good. That’s what he really needs. He needs to play, and the more he plays, the better he gets. That gives him the right match fitness and sharpness. That gives him the right fitness and sharpness.”
“He was pretty good against Cardiff. He came up with those good moments that he always does, and he’s got fantastic pace and the ability to beat people. We’re looking forward to him playing again this week with more game time under his belt. That will help him.”
“He’s definitely progressing with playing time. I think if he can really put a run of games together he could be a big force come World Cup time. He’s an exceptional player. There are areas of his game where playing time no doubt improves some of those elements.”
“But if he can put it together well, it will be pretty exciting England could see him both in the fall and at the World Cup later in the year.
“People are surprised at how much people work when they are injured and Manny is no exception. He has always worked extremely hard with the physios and S&C during those injury periods.
“All those things are going to make Manny more robust, and hopefully you’ll see that during the season,” Baxter said.
