Laying down one other marker for a call-up to John Mitchell’s Crimson Roses squad for the Six Nations, which can be introduced on the finish of subsequent month, Buchanan brilliantly held up Lindelwa Gwala because the Springbok hooker trundled over the whitewash, whereas the winger’s disarming potential to withstand contact on lots of her scampering runs in Trailfinders’ half belied her younger age.
Trailfinders could have their very own parameters of success and confirmed glimpses of what Giselle Mather is constructing in West London. The efforts of French substitute hooker Elisa Riffonneau personified their gutsy second-half, when Carys Cox zipped via Exeter’s defence for a chic particular person rating, earlier than Kate Zachary completed within the nook in opposition to her former membership late on.
