EXETER boss Rob Baxter is to hold talks with England after revealing that Immanuel Feyi-Waboso’s shoulder surgery was delayed because there were no Rugby Football Union (RFU) medics on duty over Christmas.

Feyi-Waboso is in danger of missing the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia after only undergoing the operation last week even though he had dislocated his shoulder against Sale on December 21.

The 22-year-old wing is one of 17 players to have signed enhanced Elite Player Squad contracts, giving the RFU final say over medical matters under the terms of the new Professional Game Partnership (PGP).
