Exeter prop Kwenzo Blose is to undergo surgery after it was confirmed he has ruptured his Achilles.

The South African forward was taken off injured 10 minutes after coming on from the bench in the Chiefs’ 38-15 Prem win over Newcastle on Saturday.

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter said he hoped to see the 28-year-old back “before the end of the season”.

“We’re all disappointed for Kwenzo,” Baxter said. “He really started to emerge for us at the tail end of last season and he’s been a consistent performer for us so far this season.

“It will test the depth of our front row a little now, but if all goes to plan, we hope to see Kwenzo back before the end of the season.”

Blose moved to the Devon side in 2024 from Stormers and has made 24 appearances, including four games in all competitions this campaign.

Baxter said on Monday that Blose’s injury was “a blow” for the team and the player.
