Exeter Chiefs will face Leicester Tigers tomorrow at 5pm in a sold-out match at Sandy Park.
Head coach Rob Baxter expects his side to fight "tooth and nail" in their bid to get among the front-runners in this season's Aviva Premiership. Back to back wins over London Welsh and reigning champions Harlequins have propelled the Chiefs back up the table ahead of tomorrow's visit.
Baxter wants his team to build on those two successes against English rugby's most successful club side, who will be looking to complete a league double over their Devon hosts and maintain their play-...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter insists his squad for next season is taking shape nicely after another three more players committed their futures to the Devon club. Prop Alex Brown has agreed a new two-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club, whilst fellow forwards Dave Ewers and Tom Cowan-Dickie have each penned terms on new one-year deals. The news is yet another boost to Baxter, who has made no secret of his desire to hold on to the club's crop of young stock. "We like to reward guys that take opportunities and who do well for us and these three guys are all in that category,"...
Departing England Under-20s Head Coach Rob Hunter paid tribute to his team after they were crowed Six Nations champions for an unprecedented third time in a row after an impressive 28-15 win away in Wales at Eirias Park.
Hunter, who is set to join the Exeter Chiefs coaching staff next month on a full-time basis, could not hide his delight as his young guns produced an impressive display in Colwyn Bay.
He said: “It’s a massive achievement and the guys deserve all the credit – they’re a hard working group and this trophy is their reward for the work that they have put in....
Welshman Ceri Sweeney admits he is "excited" by the challenge that awaits him having agreed to join Aviva Premiership club Exeter Chiefs on a one-year deal. The 33-year-old fly-half becomes the second Cardiff Blues back - following club-mate and fellow Welsh international Tom James - in swapping life in the Principality for that of Sandy Park. Vastly experienced and with 35 international caps to his name, Sweeney will join the Chiefs having spent the past five years in the Welsh capital with the Blues, where he has scored 324 points in 109 appearances - and before that four seasons with...
Damian Welch believes the Exeter Chiefs are making significant steps in the right direction after recording back-to-back Aviva Premiership victories.
The imposing lock, who was signed last summer from the Scarlets, claimed his maiden score for the club in the recent 47-16 home win over London Welsh - and then followed suit last Saturday as he claimed Exeter's opening try in their 27-16 win away to reigning champions Harlequins.
Now, Welch is hoping the Devon club can maintain their improvement in form when they welcome third-placed Leicester Tigers to Sandy Park later this...
The Exeter Chiefs squad maybe taking a few well-earned days off following back-to-back wins over London Welsh and Harlequins, but Gareth Steenson insists it will be back to business again next week.
The Irishman produced a stellar showing in Saturday's 27-16 away win at reigning Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins, landing 17 points with the boot, as well as playing his part in Exeter's two tries scored by Damian Welch and Luke Arscott.
It was a victory that not only saw the Devon club claim a league double over the Londoners, but put the Chiefs firmly back in the mix...

The talented Cornishman is one of 10 players who are currently battling it out to win the accolade following some notable displays in this season’s competition.

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter admitted he took a "great deal of pride" from his side's showing as they completed a league double over reigning Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins. Baxter watched on intently as his team battled back from conceding a converted Ugo Monye try early on to record a 27-16 victory at the Twickenham Stoop. Fly-half Gareth Steenson was the chief tormentor for the home side as not only did he help himself to an excellent 17-point haul with the boot, but his impressive on-field display also helped him create second half tries for Damian Welch and Luke Arscott...
Irishman Gareth Steenson was singled out for praise by Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter after he produced a man-of-the-match display to help his side to a 27-16 victory at Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins. The 28-year-old fly-half was chief tormentor for the Devon club at the Twickenham Stoop as his 17-point haul went alongside second half touchdowns from Damian Welch and Luke Arscott. Exeter’s victory, their second in as many weeks, not only ensured they maintained their hopes of being amongst the division’s top six, but also enabled them to claim a league double over Conor O’...
