Luke Cowan-Dickie is an English rugby union player for Exeter Chiefs in the English Premiership. He can play at both prop and hooker and made his debut for the club against Cavalieri Prato in the 2011–12 European Challenge Cup on 19 November 2011.[1]

Cowan-Dickie has previously been dual-registered with both the Cornish Pirates and Plymouth Albion to aid his player development.

Club career[]

Luke Cowan-Dickie has played 116 times for Exeter Chiefs in English Premiership Rugby including starting in the 2016 Premiership final. In addition Cowan-Dickie has also featured in the Anglo-Welsh Cup for the Chiefs, the Premiership A-league, European Rugby Challenge Cup and European Champions Cup.

Cowan-Dickie debuted in 2011 for the Chiefs at just 18 years of age. He made his Premiership debut in 2014 and has since scored 8 tries in the competition including a hat-trick against Harlequins in 2016.[2] He started the final as Exeter Chiefs defeated Wasps to be crowned champions of the 2016-17 English Premiership.[3]

International career[]

Cowan-Dickie represented England under-18 and England under-20s.[4] He has featured for England's A side, the England Saxons.

England national team[]

He was named in the 50-man training squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.[5] On 15 August 2015, Cowan-Dickie made his full international debut against France in a warm-up match for the 2015 World Cup at Twickenham. In 2016, Luke was part of the England team that won the Six Nations Championship Grand Slam over France in Paris, whilst he was also a member of their tour party for the hugely successful summer tour to Australia. Later that year, he was ruled out of the November internationals with an ankle injury. A knee injury sustained in early 2017 meant Cowan-Dickie missed out on touring Argentina in the Summer, but he returned to International Rugby in 2018 as he was called up by Eddie Jones to join the Six Nations training squad. Luke was later selected for the three-Test tour of South Africa where he made three appearances as a replacement as England lost the series 2-1.

British and Irish Lions[]

Cowan-Dickie was named in the squad for the 2021 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa.[6] He made his debut off the bench in the Lions' 14-56 victory over the Sigma Lions.[7] He then went on to feature in tour matches against the Cell C Sharks and South Africa 'A'.[8] In the Lions' match against the DHL Stormers Cowan-Dickie scored his first try of the tour and was named Player of the Match.[9]

He made his Lions test debut in the first test against South Africa, scoring the only try of the game for the Lions in a 17-22 win.[10] He also started the second test, a 27-9 loss.[11] Cowan-Dickie was on the bench for the final test, with Welsh hooker Ken Owens taking his starting spot. The close 19-16 loss meant that South Africa won the series 2-1.[12]
