Exeter Chiefs 44 Cardiff Blues 29

Mark Stevens reporting from Sandy Park

A first half masterclass from the Exeter Chiefs gave them the perfect start to this season’s Heineken Cup as they blew away visiting Cardiff Blues at Sandy Park.

Rob Baxter’s side ran in five tries – four of them in the opening 40 minutes – to ensure maximum reward against the Welsh region, whose improved display after the break did at least glean them a try bonus point.

Skipper Dean Mumm, Matt Jess, Fetu’u Vainikolo, Ben White and Ian Whitten all crossed for tries, while Gareth...

Chiefs serve up a season’s best display to sink the Cherry & Whites on their own path

Gloucester 12 Exeter Chiefs 29

What a difference a week makes... Following a disappointing performance seven days earlier against Leicester Tigers, Exeter Chiefs produced the perfect response at Kingsholm to re-ignite their Aviva Premiership charge against hosts Gloucester.

In a sublime Sunday showing, Rob Baxter’s side served up a season’s best display to sink the Cherry & Whites on their own path. Aussies Ben White and Dean Mumm – just as they had done at London Irish earlier in the campaign – again got on the try-sheet, whilst fly-half Gareth Steenson weighed in with...

Welch promises to meet "fire with fire" for battle against Gloucester Rugby

Damian Welch insists he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates will have to meet "fire with fire" when they face Gloucester in Sunday's Aviva Premiership encounter at Kingsholm (2pm).

Having been left licking their wounds following their 21-9 defeat to Leicester Tigers last time out, the Devon club are well aware a similar display against the Cherry & Whites cannot be repeated if they are to stand any hope of victory.

A disappointing first half against the defending champions saw the Chiefs trailing 15-0 at the interval - and although the Chiefs were much improved after the...

Baxter furious after 'Jekyll and Hyde’ performance leads to Chiefs home defeat

Exeter Chiefs 9 Leicester Tigers 21

Mark Stevens at Sandy Park

Exeter Chiefs paid the price for a turgid first half display as defending Aviva Prermiership champions Leicester Tigers headed home with the points from a packed Sandy Park.

Not for the first time this season, the 'Jekyll and Hyde’ nature of the Chiefs was again in evidence as tries from Ben Youngs and Vereniki Goneva, plus a further five points from Toby Flood, gave the visitors a comfortable 15-0 lead at the turn.

The second half, however, was a whole different story and although Rob Baxter’s...

Exeter Chiefs name side to face the Tigers on Sunday

Rob Baxter knows all too well there is no hiding place when it comes to the Aviva Premiership and Sunday's visit of reigning champions Leicester Tigers to Sandy Park offers him and his Exeter Chiefs squad a formidable weekend work-out. After successive league wins over London Wasps and London Irish, the Chiefs have spent this past week readying themselves for what will be a key date in their seasonal programme. The Tigers, like the Chiefs, have recorded two wins from three starts so far this term and will arrive in Devon looking to keep pace with unbeaten leaders Saracens at the summit....
