Exeter Chiefs Playoff Run Pushes Tom Hooper to New Levels
Australian flanker Tom Hooper says his first season with Exeter Chiefs forced him to grow, as the playoff run gave experience and a clear performance boost. Hooper arrived from the Australian national side and quickly adapted to the English Premiership.
His defensive work rate and ball‑carrying in the playoff matches added stability to the Chiefs' back row. Coaches expect the young forward to take on an even larger role next season.
Fans are eager to see his continued development.
