But Exeter director of rugby warns his side have a harder run-in and less margin for error than Jürgen Klopp’s champions
Exeter Chiefs are hoping to copy Liverpool’s patient example and enjoy delayed title satisfaction if and when this season restarts as planned. The Chiefs’ director of rugby, Rob Baxter, has warned, however, that his squad have a harder run-in than Jurgen Klopp’s team and still face a real battle to claim the Premiership trophy.
With nine games of the interrupted regular season still left, Exeter are five points clear at the top of the table and are looking strong. While Baxter is conscious that
Liverpool possessed a bigger cushion prior to clinching their first
Premier League title in 30 years, he admits football’s resumption has also encouraged Exeter to believe they can finish with a bang.
