Other clubs must try to match Leinster and not limit them, says Exeter boss Rob Baxter

EXETER BOSS ROB Baxter insists the Gallagher Premiership should aim to match Leinster’s ambition by developing their own ‘Fortnum and Mason’ recruitment policy.

“It makes you a bit jealous that you’re not working in Leinster’s recruitment department!” Baxter said. “If Irish rugby, Leinster and the United Rugby Championship can get their house in order to allow them to invest in players, their programme and their coaches like they do, you have to say, ‘Fair play.’

“You have to work to make the competition look attractive and the way the game is played look attractive. The Premiership has defied its critics by supplying two teams to the Investec Champions Cup semi-finals in Northampton and Harlequins, with Leinster and Toulouse completing the line-up.
