(Reuters) - Exeter winger Jack Nowell's sensational form this season means he should be one of the first names in the British and Irish Lions squad to tour New Zealand this year, according to his club coach Rob Baxter.

The 23-year-old Nowell produced another livewire attacking display as Exeter maintained their slim hopes of qualifying for the last eight of the Champions Cup with a 31-19 bonus-point win over Ulster on Sunday.
