MANNY OF THE MOMENT

Feyi-Waboso is pinching himself at meteoric rise to England wing

- Adam Hathaway

IMMANUEL FEYI-WABOSO is living the dream a year after playing in the lower reaches of English rugby.

Twelve months ago, the Exeter winger was out on loan at Taunton Titans in National League 1 but last weekend he was tearing it up for England as they beat Ireland at Twickenham.

The 21-year-old medical student has played just 18 games at senior level for Chiefs but he looked to the manor born against the Irish on his first England start.

And he did that on the back of missing England's training camp in York the week before as he was taking an exam at university.

But Feyi-Waboso is still pinching himself at his whirlwind rise to the top, hearing the English fans singing at HQ and being given a licence to thrill by head coach Steve Borthwick.

He said: "It's still weird. All of it, all the hotels we stay at, the food, the chefs, everywhere we go. Chartered flights. Coaches, players, being around all the big names and seeing them every day.
