Player profiles for the 2007 - 2008 Exeter Chiefs squad. Only six squad members over the age of 30. The 'grandad' of them all being Gary Willis at 38 but he'll make it hard for some of the younger players to break into the starting line-up. The youngest squad member at 18 is Tom Bedford who made several appearances last year. Photographs and links will be added as they become available.
