Rugby star and son of Newlyn fisherman going places

Chief's full-back Jack Nowell heads for the touch line .

Destined for greater things, Jack Nowell, sone of Michael Nowell skipper of the beam trawler Louisa N graces the cover of yesterday's programmes for the Exeter Chiefs' in their game against Northampton. Unlucky not to be awarded Man of the Match (again), a try scoring young Jack played an outstanding game of rugby as the Pinkun's crushed the Saints 28-19 to secure a top place in the table. Young Jack, who should have been playing for England U20s against Scotland will remember one moment in the match when he took out opposite number Ben Foden with a crunching tackle. Newlyn, born and bred, England's future full-back is in the making.
