Stuart Townsend: Exeter scrum-half out for season with serious knee injury
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
Exeter scrum-half Stuart Townsend is likely to miss the rest of the season.
The 23-year-old suffered what director of rugby Rob Baxter said was "a pretty serious knee injury" in the Champions Cup loss to Gloucester last week.
Townsend had been sharing scrum-half duties with Nic White after he suffered a foot injury earlier this campaign.
White is currently out for a few weeks with a recurrence of the foot injury, so Jack Maunder is set to start against Saracens on Saturday if fit.
