Exeter wing and medical student is already armed with precious England memories as he prepares for Sale on Sunday
It would easy for Immanuel Feyi-Waboso to bask in the limelight of his recently acquired fame. The other day even an actor masquerading as a patient during one of his student medical exams sent England’s new shooting star a breathless message afterwards. It was a similar story on a local GP placement last week. “They don’t treat you any differently but they just say: ‘Well done,’ which is nice.”
Ask the 21-year-old Exeter wing for his own reflections on his near vertical ascent to national sporting prominence, however, and his post-Six Nations self diagnosis is fascinating. “You say I’m a Test player and it’s nice of you to say that. But I feel like I still have a long way to go to be a proper Test player. I wouldn’t call myself a Test player yet, I’m still getting there.”
