Charge against Exeter Chiefs' Chris Budgen is dropped
A Rugby Football Union charge against Exeter Chiefs player Chris Budgen has been dropped.
Budgen was alleged to have struck Harlequins player Mike Brown during the 40-13 Premiership defeat. An RFU panel decided that there was nothing in video footage of the incident to warrant action against
the player.
"Obviously we are very pleased with the outcome of the hearing. Chris is a key member of the first team squad and we are glad he will be available
for selection this weekend and in future weeks," said Exeter team manager Robin Cowling.
The news means that Budgen will now be available for Exeter's first ever European match against French side Montpellier. The full-back is one of the most important players in the club and should start.
Important news
This is important and positive news for Exeter. Budgen is one of the bigger players in the playing side and provides a great deal of power in the pack and scrums. He's very effective at organising this
part of Exeter's game.
This will be vital if Exeter is forced to play a long and slow game by Montpellier. Budgen can be used to get right behind a small pack to drive it forward along with other big players in the team. This
will gain territory and push the team towards the try line.
Budgen will be used as a big player in the Exeter defence. He throws in a lot of challenges against opposition teams. This will be vital early on in the game because it will show Montpellier that Exeter
means business.
The news will also mean that head coach Rob Baxter doesn't have to bring in a less effective player at full-back. Budgen is the best at the club in his position and will be far more effective than a fringe
or youth player.
Betting advice
Budgen will make Exeter a lot strong in defence and harder to break down. This will decrease the chance of conceding points and losing games. Have a punt on Exeter winning against Montpellier despite the
French club's history and reputation.
