Exeter Chiefs' Henry Slade named Aviva Premiership Player of the Month

Exeter Chiefs' Henry Slade has been named the Aviva Premiership Rugby Player of the Month for February.

The 21-year-old has been given the gong after helping push his club to the top four of the table, as well as receiving a call-up to the England training squad for this weekend's Six Nations clash against Scotland.

Former England international Austin Healy said: "Every time Henry Slade touches the ball something happens. There is no doubt in my mind the lad has the potential to win 50 caps or more for England. He is too talented and works too hard not to achieve Test caps. "I have been watching him closely this season and I believe he is ready to step into the England team now."

Slade was picked for the award over fellow contenders Elliot Daly, Calum Clark and Sinoti Sinoti.
