Rigg’s Exeter debut came as a replacement away at Newcastle in March, with his first start coming a week later at Sale where he lined up against the likes of Manu Tuilagi, Rob du Preez and George Ford. <\/p>\n
His first start this season came against Harlequins, where he also scored his first top-flight try, before touching down three times in Exeter’s subsequent two Premiership Cup matches.<\/p>\n
“I think his ball carrying is improving all the time and you’re seeing that at this level where in those Prem Cup games he looks a very dangerous ball carrier,” Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“What we’ve got to try and do is almost kind of keep that confidence to get on the ball and carry hard and find that space and attack the space.<\/p>\n
“We’ve adapted our defensive system a bit, everyone has seen that, and I think that will suit him a little bit more and give him a little bit more time to assess what his defensive responsibilities are.<\/p>\n
“But certainly in the last few weeks he’s really starting to take off.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
