Exeter star Henry Slade says the Chiefs are well aware rivals Wasps will be out for revenge when the two sides lock horns in Sunday’s Aviva Premiership clash at Sandy Park (3pm).

In the first meeting between the two since last May’s Premiership Final at Twickenham – which the Devonians won 23-20 after extra-time – again there is little to choose between either club ahead of this round four encounter.

Last Friday’s 41-10 victory for Rob Baxter’s side at Worcester Warriors lifted the Chiefs back to the summit of the division, a spot they held onto following the weekend...

Chiefs side to face Worcester Warriors

With normal service resumed at the weekend with victory over London Irish, defending Aviva Premiership Rugby champions Exeter Chiefs take to the road tomorrow night for their latest top-flight engagement.

Floored by a late sucker punch at Gloucester in their seasonal opener, Rob Baxter's side wasted little time in rediscovering their winning formula last Saturday, producing a five-try display that saw off the Exiles, as well as underlining the hallmarks of their title-winning credentials of last season.

The challenge moving forward, however, is to keep replicating that kind...

Defence was the key to victory says White

In attack Exeter Chiefs looked sharp enough, but Aussie scrum-half Nic White felt in defence the reigning champions were equally as good as they notched their first Aviva Premiership win of the season with success over visiting London Irish.

Rob Baxter’s side triumphed 37-7 at Sandy Park, claiming all five points courtesy of a penalty try and further touchdowns from Henry Slade, Olly Woodburn and Don Armand (2).

It was the ideal response from the Devonians, who the previous week had lost their seasonal opener in the dying seconds away to Gloucester.

For White,...

Chiefs return to winning ways against London Irish

After the gloom of Gloucester, it didn’t take long for Exeter Chiefs to rediscover their winning formula.

Undone on Week One of the season at Kingsholm, Week Two saw normal service resumed for Rob Baxter’s side as they swept aside the challenge of newly-promoted London Irish at Sandy Park.

Devon’s finest rediscovered their mojo in emphatic style, running in five tries, whilst producing an equally impressive defensive showing that limited the Exiles to just a solitary second half score through winger Alex Lewington.

In attack, the Chiefs were sharp enough. Centre...

Chiefs side to face London Irish

Exeter Chiefs may not have created history last weekend, but Director of Rugby Rob Baxter saw enough from his side in defeat at Gloucester to give him plenty of encouragement for the future. The reigning Aviva Premiership champions were downed right at the death by the Cherry & Whites, losing 28-21 in their seasonal opener at Kingsholm. Jason Woodward’s last-gasp try meant the Chiefs missed not only suffered defeat in Round One, but also missed out on setting a new record of 18 games unbeaten in English rugby’s top division. Although disappointed to come unstuck, Baxter preferred to...

The Family Law Company is ending its year-long 25th anniversary celebrations with a flourish - by sponsoring a Chief.

The family law specialists are sponsoring Prop Tomas Francis, who came off the bench to play for the winning side on that legendary day at Twickenham in May.

Managing Director and founder of the company, Norman Hartnell is a committed fan of the team, attending games as often as he can.

He said: “The Chiefs have had a hugely positive impact on Exeter in the past few years, especially when they lifted the Premiership trophy – you could hear the roars...

Disappointing first game for Chiefs as defending champions

In the end there was to be no record-breaking accolade for Exeter Chiefs.

Instead, Rob Baxter’s defending Aviva Premiership champions - who were trying to make it a record 18 games unbeaten in English rugby's top flight - were floored by a late knockout blow from Gloucester new-boy Jason Woodward.

The New Zealand-born full-back, who last season tasted top flight relegation with Bristol, sealed an opening day victory for the Cherry & Whites by stealing over for a last-gasp try at a packed Kingsholm

His score, coupled with a brace for compatriot Jeremy Thrush and...

Chiefs side for first game of the new season

After weeks in the planning, Exeter Chiefs will kick-off the defence of their Aviva Premiership crown with a testing trip to Gloucester tomorrow (7:45pm).

By the time they run out at Kingsholm, 97 days will have passed since Jack Yeandle and Gareth Steenson lifted English Rugby’s top prize proudly above their heads following their extra-time victory over Wasps at Twickenham.

It heralded the greatest hour to date in the proud history of the Devon club, who having been crowned champions, now have it all to do as their rivals look upon themselves as the prized scalp of the...
