Exeter Chiefs captain Dean Mumm will watch from the Kassam Stadium stands when his team’s new Aviva Premiership season kicks off against London Welsh on Sunday, but has faith in his young team-mates to begin with a bang.
The former Australia lock underwent surgery on his shoulder over the summer and is not fit enough to lead out the reigning LV= Cup holders this weekend.
It means a youthful looking side will be left to battle against the Aviva Premiership new boys. But, despite some of the squad’s younger players having displayed a rawness in pre-season training, the 30-...

Exeter Chiefs captain Dean Mumm believes the emergence of so many of the club's highly-rated youngsters this term means the Devon club have plenty to be cheerful about moving forward into next season.
The Devon club wrapped up their fourth Aviva Premiership campaign on Saturday with a 23-13 victory at Newcastle Falcons thanks in the main to tries from Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ben White and Fetu'u Vainikolo.
Young fly-half Henry Slade weighed in with the remainder of the visiting points to ensure the Chiefs claimed not only a league double over the Northerners, but also eighth...
Exeter Chiefs skipper Dean Mumm believes he and his team-mates should use Sunday’s LV= Cup triumph as the springboard for future success at the Devon club.
The experienced Australian international led from the front at a packed Sandy Park as he helped the Chiefs to record their first major silverware in 143 years as they overcame Premiership rivals Northampton Saints 15-8.
Having led 8-3 at the break thanks to a Chris Whitehead try and a penalty from fly-half Henry Slade, Mumm helped to extend Exeter’s advantage during the second period when he put the finishing touches to...
It may not have been pretty - at times it was downright ugly - but last Sunday's LV= Cup victory over Bath Rugby was all that mattered to Exeter Chiefs skipper Dean Mumm come the final whistle.
At the 12th attempt since their promotion into the top flight in 2010, Rob Baxter's side were finally able to overcome their Westcountry rivals in a competitive first-team fixture.
For Aussie international Mumm, the 22-19 win at The Recreation Ground not only ended the so-called 'Bath hoodoo' - but at the same time ensured the Chiefs advanced to this weekend's LV= Cup Final for the...
Aussie international Dean Mumm says Exeter Chiefs must continue to keep working hard in their bid to rediscover their winning touch in the Aviva Premiership.
Sunday's 23-10 loss at Saracens not only gave Rob Baxter's side an unwanted hat-trick of losses against the division's top three in as many weeks, but also condemned the Chiefs to a seventh league loss in eight starts.
With London Irish next on the agenda at Sandy Park this Saturday (3pm), Mumm is hoping a return to home comforts will help re-ignite the Chiefs after a testing few weeks.
Dean Mumm insists he and his Exeter Chiefs' team-mates have "nothing to lose" ahead of this Sunday's Aviva Premiership encounter with Saracens at Allianz Park (3.15pm). The Australian international was as disappointed as anyone inside Sandy Park last Saturday as the Chiefs were again undone by rivals Bath Rugby in an enthralling Westcountry derby. The narrow 27-23 loss was again another tough pill to swallow for Devon's finest and the 29-year-old forward believes it's vital the Chiefs learn from the experiences if they are to push forward. "It was probably a missed opportunity for us and...
Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to wrap up their Heineken Cup campaign in style when they travel to Cardiff Blues in tomorrow's final Pool Two fixture at the Arms Park (3.40pm). With European qualification hopes of any kind all but extinguished with last weekend's 15-10 home loss against Glasgow Warriors, the Chiefs are still determined to prove their worth in European Rugby's top cup competition and record a notable double over the star-studded Blues. At Sandy Park in October, Baxter's men produced a devastating first 40 minutes to blow aside the Welsh region. Not only was the all...
Damian Welch said his decision to stay with Exeter Chiefs was effectively a “no-brainer” after he today sealed a new two-year deal at the Aviva Premiership club. Signed ahead of the 2011/12 season from Welsh region Scarlets, the 31-year-old has settled well to life in the Westcountry and has installed himself as a senior figure within Rob Baxter’s first-team squad. With 30 appearances and six tries already to his name, Welch is determined to build on what has been a solid start to life at Sandy Park for the towering second-row forward. “I’ve loved being here since I got here,” he said. “It...
Exeter Chiefs may not have finished 2013 as they would have hoped, but already skipper Dean Mumm is aiming to start the New Year with a bang.
Just days after coming unstuck 22-6 to Harlequins in Big Game 6 at a packed Twickenham, the experienced Aussie forward already has his sights set on Sunday's Aviva Premiership trip to London Wasps (3pm).
Determined to get Devon's finest back amongst the division's leading pack, Mumm says it's vital he and his team-mates respond in the right way at Adams Park.
“Sunday’s game certainly takes on greater importance now,” said Mumm...
