Rob Hunter believes competition to get into the Exeter Chiefs starting line-up ahead of the new Aviva Premiership season will help to drive standards up during pre-season.
Forwards coach Hunter said he was “pretty pleased” after watching the English champions notch up victories over the Cornish Pirates (47-15) and Dragons (50-24) during Saturday’s Double Header at Sandy Park.

Luke Cowan-Dickie believes Exeter Chiefs will ‘thrive’ on the challenge of trying to defend their Aviva Premiership crown this season.

Former Gloucester powerhouse Junior Paramore has said he cannot understand why Exeter Chiefs legend Gareth Steenson hasn’t been picked for his national side.
Paramore has been named amongst a Classic Lions side that will take on a Chiefs select XV at Sandy Park on August 12.
And he was full of praise for the Exeter fly-half.
He said: “As a rugby player you always set goals to achieve something but to be the number one choice for such a long period of time tells you everything you need to know about the effort Gareth puts in on and off the field.
