Devoto looks to build on Falcons win

Ollie Devoto insists Exeter Chiefs must use their victory at Newcastle Falcons as the springboard to continue climbing up the Aviva Premiership table. Rob Baxter’s side claimed their first top flight win since late September when they triumphed 32-19 at Kingston Park last Friday. Summer signing Devoto set the ball rolling for the visitors, scoring his maiden try for the Chiefs inside the opening few minutes, before team-mates Thomas Waldrom, James Short and Will Chudley followed him over the whitewash. It was a much-needed victory for the Devonians, who will now be looking to build on the...

Newcastle Falcons 19 Exeter Chiefs 32

Will Chudley marked his return to former club Newcastle Falcons by claiming the bonus point try as Exeter Chiefs returned to winning ways at Kingston Park.

The scrum-half sniped over two minutes from time to put the icing on the cake for Rob Baxter’s side, who added earlier tries through Ollie Devoto, Thomas Waldrom and James Short.

Skipper Gareth Steenson weighed in with the remainder of the points to ensure Exeter of their third league win of the season, a result which also lifted them back into the top four for 24 hours at least.

Williams expects response from Chiefs

Harry Williams says he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates will use the heartache of their last-gasp defeat to Bath as a positive ahead of their return to Aviva Premiership action tomorrow night at Newcastle Falcons (8pm).

The Devon club will make their longest domestic trek of the season looking to banish the 13-10 loss to their local rivals to the history books.

Semesa Rokoduguni’s converted try, seven minutes into added on time, condemned the Chiefs to a fourth league loss of the season – and has left them in seventh place ahead of their trip to Kingston Park.

Keast relishing game time

Exeter Chiefs youngster Billy Keast is hoping he will get more chances to impress after he capped his first start for the club with victory over Cardiff Blues on Sunday.

Having debuted the week previous against Harlequins in the Anglo-Welsh, the 19-year-old Cornishman was thrown in from the outset against the Welsh region at Sandy Park.

Lining up in the front-row alongside Shaun Malton and Jack Owlett, who themselves were making their home debuts, the trio helped lead from the front as the Chiefs picked up all five points in a ten-try demolition of the Blues.

Chiefs side to face Cardiff Blues

Exeter Chiefs coach Ricky Pellow has described Sunday’s Anglo-Welsh Cup clash with Cardiff Blues as a ‘must-win’ encounter if the Devon club harbour any hopes of qualification to the latter stages.

Academy youngster Harry Strong hopes to use the Anglo-Welsh Cup as the perfect ‘stepping stone’ to help develop his career at Exeter Chiefs.

Handed his senior debut in last weekend’s Round One clash at Harlequins, the 19-year-old is poised to get another opportunity this Sunday when the Devon club play host to Cardiff Blues at Sandy Park (3pm).

Brought on as a first half replacement for the injured Phil Dollman a week ago, Strong certainly did not look out of place as he fitted in nicely to the Exeter back division.

For the player himself it was a moment to savour...

Chiefs sign up Fijian flyer Matawalu

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Niko Matawalu can add some real ‘X-Factor’ to his backline after he today agreed a deal until the end of the season.

The Fijian international will head to Sandy Park from Aviva Premiership rivals Bath Rugby and will join up with his new team-mates once the current autumn internationals are concluded.

Equally at home either on the wing or at scrum-half, Baxter believes the 27-year-old is a great addition to the Chiefs make-up and is excited at what he can bring to the club moving forward.

“Initially Niko’s...
