Discipline cost us says Baxter

Frustrated Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter bemoaned a lack of discipline from his players as the wait to book a first-ever appearance in the Aviva Premiership play-offs continues.

een for a response after their European Champions Cup exit to Wasps the week previous, the Devonians again suffered away-day misery, slipping to a 16-9 loss at Gloucester.

After a scoreless opening half, Chiefs skipper Gareth Steenson fired them in front with the first of three successful penalties, but it was the Cherry & Whites who prevailed, claiming a converted score from debutant Olly...

Chiefs undone by Gloucester

Exeter’s wait to book a first-ever appearance in the Aviva Premiership play-offs will have to wait a little bit longer as they were undone by a courageous Gloucester outfit at Kingsholm.

Scoreless at the break following a bone-crunching battle of attrition, it was the home side who prevailed during the second period, claiming a converted score from Olly Thorley, as well as three penalties from Greg Laidlaw.

The Chiefs countered with three penalties from fly-half Gareth Steenson, but it was never enough on a damp and dismal night for Devon’s finest. With Rob Baxter’s side...

With little time to wallow in the disappointment of their European Champions Cup exit, it's back to the cut and thrust of the Aviva Premiership for Exeter Chiefs tomorrow as they take on Gloucester at Kingsholm (7.45pm).

Denied a place in the last four of Europe because of Jimmy Gopperth's last-gasp conversion a week ago, the prospect of booking a first-ever appearance in the Premiership play-offs should now act as the ideal incentive for Rob Baxter's side to attack the remainder of the season.

Having narrowly missed out on the play-offs last term due to points' difference...

Wasps 25 Exeter Chiefs 24

In 1956 at Aintree it was Devon Loch who seemed destined for Grand National glory only to crash when in sight of the finish line.

Fifty years later, ironically on the same day as the world’s most famous horse race, it was Rob Baxter’s Exeter Chiefs side who slipped in the final furlong, losing their first-ever European Champions Cup quarter-final at the hands of rivals Wasps.

As the stadium clock clicked it’s way into the final second of 80 pulsating minutes, it was home full-back Charles Piutau who powered his way over the whitewash to deliver a telling blow on the...

He said: “We’ve worked really hard to get into this position, it’s a fixture we’re really looking forward to.”

The Irishman says the Sandy Park club are confident going into the match, against a very much in form Waps side, particularly after...

Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell is looking to use England’s Six Nations Grand Slam victory to help steer the club to glory.

The 22-year-old was a key player for England, as Eddie Jones' side stormed to victory last month, and Nowell feels the experience will better him in the future.

Talking ahead of Chiefs highly anticipated European Champions Cup Quarter-final with Wasps, he said: “Playing in front of big crowds in high pressure situations and must-win games will benefit me when coming back here to play in the Quarter-finals.”

Nowell returned to club Rugby action...
