Read our privacy policy Scotland star Stuart Hogg’s injury situation has been described as “an improving picture” as the countdown to this season’s Guinness Six Nations continues. Hogg has missed Exeter’s last three games, including a Heineken Champions Cup appointment with the Bulls in South Africa last weekend, due to a heel injury. Full-back Hogg, who has won 96 caps, is comfortably the most experienced player named by Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend in his Six Nations squad. It is not like a significant ligament or cartilage or something like that, so there is an expectation he will come through this in time for the Six Nations.” Baxter, meanwhile, has backed Chiefs wing Jack Nowell to recover strongly from the disappointment of not being selected for England’s Six Nations squad.
