Rob Baxter thoughts were never on the possibility of taking over as England’s head coach this past week but on his side bouncing back from last week’s defeat by Ospreys to kick start their European Champions Cup.
His Exeter Chiefs side’s first victory against French opposition came with a 34-19 bonus point victory over Bordeaux-Bègles on a bitterly cold night at Sandy Park after the 9,577 crowd had observed a one-minute silence in memory of those killed in Paris last week.
Baxter wasn’t disappointed that England didn’t give him a call when they were looking for a...
Exeter’s European escapades are back on track after the Chiefs returned to winning ways with a comfortable 34-19 victory over French visitors Bordeaux-Begles.
Rob Baxter’s side dominated for large periods in this Round Two encounter, running in four tries on the night courtesy of Olly Woodburn (2), Moray Low and Ian Whitten. England international Henry Slade landed the remainder of the points for the Aviva Premiership side, slotting four penalties and a conversion in an assured performance at fly-half.
Bordeaux – who were tasting Europe’s top competition for the first time...
Exeter Chiefs assistant coach Ali Hepher is confident he will see a response from his side as they look to get their European Champions Cup campaign up and running with victory over Bordeaux-Begles on Saturday night (21 November, ko 7:45pm).
Undone 25-13 by the Ospreys in Round One, the Chiefs know this latest match-up against their French visitors is vital if they are to stand any chance of progressing out of Pool Two this season.
The Chiefs have spent this past week reviewing in detail their disappointing display at the Liberty Stadium, one in which Hepher admitted the...
The Exeter Chiefs hosted the businesses, individuals and organisations who provide vital sponsorship for the Aviva Premiership Club.
And there was an unexpected twist when two of the players ousted from the stage head of corporate at the club, John Wood, to take over presenting duties.
Second Row Damian Welch and Back Row Kai Horstmann (pictured) hijacked proceedings after branding Mr Wood “boring”.
Damian said: “We felt it was time to make the evening a bit more interesting and give the audience a bit more of a behind the scenes insight into the changing room...

Just as he was the scourge of England during the Rugby World Cup, so Welshman Dan Biggar did the same to Exeter Chiefs on their competitive return to the Champions Cup.
The Ospreys fly-half was the mastermind behind the Welsh region’s success story, plundering five penalties, a drop-goal and even converting a late try from former Exeter player Josh Matavesi.
Even then Biggar – who was named Heineken Man of the Match – could afford to miss three further chances afforded to him by the Chiefs, who fell foul of Italian referee Marius Mitrea on far too many occasions.
Exeter Chiefs switch from domestic duties to that of Europe this weekend as they mark their first outing in the Champions Cup with an away day at Ospreys today (5:30pm).
After three successive victories in the Aviva Premiership, Rob Baxter’s side will be looking to continue their good form against the Welsh region at the Liberty Stadium.
It’s some two years since Devon’s finest last mixed it with Europe’s elite - facing the likes of Glasgow Warriors, Cardiff Blues and back-to-back winners, RC Toulon in the old Heineken Cup - and their re-introduction this year promises to...

Exeter Chiefs players past and present, together with leading club officials, members of the Armed Forces and supporters formed the congregation for a special 'Armistice Day' service held at Sandy Park. Conducted by club chaplain Simon Atkinson, the 45-minute Service of Remembrance paid tribute to those former club players - and other servicemen and women around the world - who had paid the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts around the world. For years, Exeter Rugby Club have proudly displayed within the County Suite a memorial plaque of the names of those former players who paid the ultimate...
Supporters of the Exeter Chiefs can do their bit to boost the funds of the Exeter Foundation with a new initiative launched by the club.
We know there are occasions where season ticket holders, Gold Card and 1905 members are unable to attend a match-day game at Sandy Park.
That means places are occasionally empty within the stands, so the Exeter Foundation – the club’s official charity – are appealing for you to donate a ticket to the Foundation.
All money raised from the re-sale of these tickets will be donated back into the Foundation and later distributed amongst...
