Euro cyclists raise over £20,000 for local charities

For the people of Bordeaux they didn’t quite know what was going on, but the sight of over 300 Devonians lining the streets, banging their drums and bellowing out the ‘Tomahawk Chop’ was somewhat different for a Friday afternoon. It was, however, the greeting afforded to the 22 intrepid cyclists as they cruised their way into the entrance of the Stade Chaban Delmas at the end of the Exeter European Cycle Challenge. Six days after leaving Sandy Park, the group were afforded a rapturous welcome from Exeter Chiefs’ players, staff and supporters alike as they marked the end of their mammoth...

Baxter proud despite defeat

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter admitted he was proud of his side’s performance despite slipping to a 34-27 defeat away to Bordeaux-Begles.

In an absorbing Championship Cup contest – which saw eight tries scored – the Chiefs were ultimately undone late in the game by a converted try from replacement Marco T auleigne. Until that point, the Chiefs – who made 13 changes to their line-up that had defeated Gloucester seven days earlier – more than held their own against their French rivals, who collected earlier tries through Adam Ashley-Cooper, Blair Connor, Louis-Benoit Madaule...

Bordeaux-Begles edge out Exeter Chiefs

Bordeaux-Begles 34 Chiefs 27: Match report

It’s not quite over, but Exeter’s hopes of advancing in this season’s Champions Cup are hanging by a thread after defeat away to Bordeaux-Begles.

Like two prize fighters battling away in the ring, the rivalling teams traded countless blows before the Englishmen were finally floored by Marco Tauleigne’s converted try ten minutes from time.

His late touchdown was the last of eight tries scored at the Stade Chaban Delmas and means Rob Baxter’s Chiefs side now need somewhat of a miracle to advance into the quarter-finals....

Baxter’s delight as Devoto seals move

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after adding his second new addition to his playing squad for the 2016/17 season.

Having already recruited experienced Australian international prop Greg Holmes from the Queensland Reds, Bath playmaker Ollie Devoto is the latest to put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club.

The 22-year-old will head to Sandy Park from local rivals Bath, whom he has played for since joining their Academy in the 2012/13 season.

Since then, the Yeovil-born back has quietly established himself as a...

Chiefs side to face Bordeaux

Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to go “flat out” in their quest to keep alive their qualification hopes in this season’s European Champions Cup.

Tomorrow, the high-flying Aviva Premiership outfit head across the English Channel to tackle Bordeaux-Begles in their penultimate fixture in Pool Two of this season’s competition.

With two victories and two losses to their name, the Chiefs know nothing less than a victory at the Stade Chaban Dalmas (2pm) will be good enough if they are to stand any chance of advancing to the last eight.

Baxter updates on injury front

Jack Nowell’s knee injury will not require surgery and is not as bad as first feared, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has revealed.

But that news has been offset by the revelation that lock Mitch Lees is set for around four months on the sidelines after an operation on his injured arm on Monday.

England back Nowell, 22, hobbled off in some pain with eight minutes left in Saturday’s 19-10 win over Gloucester, having badly twisted his knee in a tackle. He is unlikely to train this week.

Lees, who had been tipped for a spot in Eddie Jones’ England squad to be...
