Dave Dennis says he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates will need to be at their best if they are to secure Anglo-Welsh Cup glory against Bath at Kingsholm this Sunday (3pm). The Australian marked his return to competitive action for the first time in five months last weekend as he helped the Chiefs overcome Newcastle Falcons 20-17 in a hard-fought encounter at Sandy Park. Down 17-7 at the break, young fly-half Joe Simmonds spearheaded the Exeter revival, producing a man-of-the-match display that ensured the Chiefs booked a fourth successive final appearance in the competition. It was a...

As Exeter Chiefs chase a fourth successive appearance in the Anglo-Welsh Cup final, skills coach Ricky Pellow insists lessons have been learnt from past experiences within the competition.
Despite reaching the past three finals, the Chiefs have lifted the trophy just once, that was back in 2014 against Northampton Saints, and have since narrowly lost to Saracens and Leicester Tigers in the subsequent years.
It’s a statistic Pellow and his players are keen to balance up this year, but overcoming visiting Newcastle Falcons on Sunday at Sandy Park (1pm) will be no easy task...
The effects of the 'Beast from the East' and 'Storm Emma' may have melted away as quickly as it came, but Exeter Chiefs showed they are more longer lasting in terms of their title defence as they extended their lead at the top of the Aviva Premiership.
Rob Baxter's side are now seven points clear of Wasps at the summit after they saw off fellow play-off contenders Saracens 24-14 with a hard-fought display at Sandy Park.
Three first half penalties from fly-half Joe Simmonds, plus a try from full-back Phil Dollman, gave the hosts a slender 14-12 advantage at the break as the...
Exeter Chiefs Director of Rugby Rob Baxter has called for another step up in standards from his side as they prepare to welcome Saracens to Sandy Park on Sunday (3pm).
The varying effects of ‘Storm Emma’ and the ‘Beast from the East’ have meant the Round 17 clash in this season’s Aviva Premiership has been put back by 24 hours, but Baxter is none the less readying his troops for a key encounter between the league’s top two sides.
Buoyed by a return to winning ways last weekend against Northampton Saints, now the Chiefs leader is looking to use that success as the...
Exeter Chiefs Director of Rugby Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after two more of his current squad today committed their futures to the reigning Aviva Premiership champions.
Back-row forward Dave Ewers (left) and centre Max Bodilly are the latest names to put pen to paper on new two-year deals that will keep them at Sandy Park until at least 2020.
Both products of the club’s highly successful academy set-up, Baxter has spoken of the importance of nurturing homegrown talent and developing them into high quality players, all of whom are capable of performing at the...
It was like a Rocky movie, the two prized fighters battled it out until the death, after which the hero rose from the deck in the final round to claim a famous victory.
In this case, it was reigning Aviva Premiership champions Exeter Chiefs who hauled themselves off the deck to claim a first league win of 2018.
With time up on the clock, a converted Thomas Waldrom try floored visiting Northampton Saints, who came within a whisker of inflicting a fourth successive top-flight loss on Rob Baxter’s side.
Instead, the Chiefs are back on top of the table and still on...
Rob Baxter believes tying down the ‘finer details’ in his side’s game plan can lead to Exeter Chiefs returning to winning ways in the Aviva Premiership against visiting Northampton Saints tomorrow (2pm).
Three successive top-flight defeats to Newcastle Falcons, Worcester Warriors and Wasps have seen the reigning champions surrender top spot in the standings to Saracens, but Baxter insists there is no need for panic within the ranks at Sandy Park, particularly as his side are still healthy placed in second to attack the final rounds of the season.”
Premiership Champions Exeter Chiefs recently swapped their training ground at Sandy Park, Exeter for the award-winning Salcombe Distilling Co. in the beautiful seaside town of Salcombe. These highly skilled team players used their charisma and flair to raise the bar creating delicious Salcombe Gin cocktails.
It was then head to head in a play-off to design and develop their very own bottle of gin at the Salcombe Gin School accompanied by Exeter Rugby Club Chairman and Chief Executive, Tony Rowe OBE.
Tony said: “Salcombe Gin, is very popular amongst those who visit Sandy...
