Wallabies duo arrive at Sandy Park
Exeter Chiefs have been handed a major boost this week with the arrival of Wallabies pair Len Ikitau and Tom Hooper at Sandy Park.
Both players join fresh from impressive campaigns in the Rugby Championship, where they featured prominently for Australia against the best of the southern hemisphere. Their addition brings proven international quality to the Chiefs squad at a pivotal stage in the season.
Ikitau, 25, has become one of the Wallabies’ most reliable midfielders, combining defensive solidity with a sharp attacking edge. With more than 40 caps to his name and a reputation for hard running and composure under pressure, he adds instant depth and class to the Exeter backline.
Alongside him, 23-year-old Hooper has emerged as one of Australia’s brightest forward prospects. The dynamic back-rower started throughout the Rugby Championship, showcasing his relentless work rate and physical edge. His versatility and energy across the park are set to bolster the Chiefs pack immediately.
Both players have reported in excellent condition following their international duties and are available for selection right away, giving Exeter an exciting lift as they prepare for this weekend’s Premiership clash. Chiefs supporters could get their first glimpse of the Wallabies duo in club colours sooner rather than later.
The arrivals of Ikitau and Hooper underline the ambition of the club and promise to inject fresh momentum into the campaign. With Sandy Park set to roar again, anticipation is already building for the next chapter in Exeter’s season.
