Reported England target Rob Baxter reaffirms loyalty to Exeter Chiefs

Rob Baxter reiterates that he is planning to "honour" his contract with Exeter Chiefs, despite reports linking him with England.

Exeter Chiefs boss Rob Baxter has once again moved to distance himself from speculation that has linked him with the England head coach role.

Last month the 44-year-old insisted that he would not swap his role at Sandy Park for the Twickenham hotseat, amid speculation that he was in contention for the position.

The departure of Stuart Lancaster yesterday morning only served to intensify those reports, but Baxter has told BBC Sport that he will "honour" his contract with the Chiefs, which does not expire until 2018.

Earlier today Sir Graham Henry also ruled himself out of the running to replace Lancaster.
