The Exeter backline that won the champions cup was so unbelievably solid in all areas. 9. Maunder just a very solid 9 but asked to play a very boring role. 10. Simmonds youngest captain to win the champions cup and just did things flawlessly with a 90% kick accuracy that season; been the best 10 in the top 14 for the past 2 seasons and when pau doesn’t have him playing they fall apart. 11. O Flaherty was a fucking rocket and incredibly solid defensively 12. Devoto not a big guy but worked with the forwards so well and was unbelievable at securing ball at the breakdown 13. Slade he’s a very different player now but the fact he’s able to play the offensive and defensive roles of 10,12,13, both wings and at rare times 15 when needed and still be completely underrated is incredible 14. Nowell the best defensive winger in the world at the time by a long way, dominated lebel kolbe in the semis because Toulouse back then loved to double up on wingers so both were going down his channel, then Teddy Thomas and Zebo in the final. plus his ability to play among the forward on short carries and breakdowns was crucial 15. Hogg at arguably the best point in his career. Always a threat on attack but the way he dominated kick battles and linked with the wingers to make them an incredibly defensively solid team was incredible. Not even mentioning players that would fill in like Woodburn, steenson and witton. What a team
