Ben Moon says he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates are just “one hard shift” away from returning to Twickenham and a place in the Aviva Premiership Final for the second year running.
The Chiefs confirmed a home semi-final against defending champions Saracens on Saturday week by recording an eighth successive try bonus point win away to Gloucester in the final round of the scheduled season last weekend.
Long-serving prop Moon played his part in that 34-20 victory, scoring his first-ever Premiership try during the second half of the game played at Kingsholm.
Sandy Park remains fully open for business despite a kitchen fire at the venue overnight.
Firefighters from the Devon and Somerset Fire Service were called to the stadium in the early hours of this morning following the blaze, which was restricted to an office in the downstairs kitchen area.
The fire, which has caused minor smoke damage, was safely extinguished and no one was injured during the incident.
Exeter Rugby Club chairman and chief executive, Tony Rowe OBE, said: "Despite the fire, the Sandy Park kitchen remains fully operational and will have no effect on...
Exeter Chiefs will have home advantage against defending champions Saracens in this season’s Aviva Premiership play-offs after Rob Baxter’s side continued their rich vein of form at the expense of rivals Gloucester.
In a full-blooded contest at Kingsholm, Devon’s finest were made to work for every bit of their latest five-point haul (the final score was 20 to 34) which ensured them of a top two finish.
A similar outcome for leaders Wasps in their top of the table clash with Sarries meant they topped the pile at the end of the scheduled season, but it’s the Chiefs who will...
Olly Woodburn described being crowned as the Exeter Chiefs Player of the Year as his “proudest moment” in rugby following the club’s annual awards night on Thursday.

The 25-year-old has enjoyed a stellar season for the Chiefs, producing not only a number of eye-catching displays, but also helping himself to 11 tries in 24 appearances.

There may be one round of the scheduled Aviva Premiership season to go, but there is still plenty to do for Rob Baxter and his Exeter Chiefs over the coming weeks.
It starts tomorrow at Kingsholm where Gloucester lie in wait in Round 22 of this season’s competition (4pm).
The Chiefs will head up the M5 safe in the knowledge that they are already assured of a place in the end of season play-offs, but it’s whether they have home advantage that will be uppermost in their thoughts ahead of kick-off.
Win against the Cherry & Whites and the Chiefs will guarantee...
Assistant coach Ali Hepher believes Exeter Chiefs are “building nicely” after they edged ever closer to securing a home semi-final in this season’s Aviva Premiership play-offs.
With just one round of the scheduled season remaining, the Chiefs drew level on points with leaders Wasps as they notched up their 14th league win of the season thanks to this six-try 36-12 victory over Northampton Saints at Sandy Park.
Supporters’ Player of the Year Olly Woodburn led the way with brace of tries, while there were further touchdowns for Don Armand, Ian Whitten, Jack Nowell and Sam...
These are indeed heady days for Rob Baxter and his Exeter Chiefs side after they became the first Aviva Premiership Rugby side to secure seven straight bonus-point wins with their biggest-ever victory against Northampton Saints.
Devon’s finest kept up their quest for a home semi-final in this season play-offs with another polished, six-try blast here at Sandy Park.
Northampton had the first word through JJ Hanrahan and the last through Ahsee Tuala, but in between they were no match for the high-flying Chiefs, who powered to a 14th league win of the season thanks to an Olly...
Rob Baxter says it’s vital his Exeter Chiefs grasp every opportunity afforded to them as they look to maintain their momentum in this season’s Aviva Premiership. Having clocked up a 13-match unbeaten streak that stretches back to the end of October, the Chiefs – along with Wasps and Saracens – have already booked their place in next month’s end of season play-offs. With that objective already safely secured in the bag, however, next on the list for Baxter and his players is to ensure home advantage in the last four – and that means finishing the scheduled season with a flourish. First up...
