‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ maybe the Box Office draw in cinemas up and down the country this Valentine’s weekend, but Exeter Chiefs served up their own smash hit as they saw off Newcastle Fashion with a stellar showing at Sandy Park.
Rob Baxter’s side return to Aviva Premiership action with a bang, producing a six-try performance that positioned them firmly back amongst the division’s frontrunners.
In a one-sided encounter, the Chiefs had the bonus point wrapped up by half time thanks to scores from Jack Nowell, Henry Slade, Thomas Waldrom and a Penalty Try – and there was to...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says he has a group of players looking forward to returning to Aviva Premiership duty today (Saturday) at home to Newcastle Falcons (4:30pm).
After a month of action which has seen the Devon club advance to the knock-out stages of both the European Challenge and LV= Cups, it’s back to the bread and butter of the top flight for the Chiefs.
Baxter has watched on with quiet satisfaction at the way his team has rediscovered their winning formula – particularly after they lost four successive Premiership games either side of Christmas – and he...
If Exeter Chiefs are to become the first-ever side to reclaim the LV= Cup, then the hard work will have to be carried out in the rugby hotbed of the East Midlands.
The defending champions saw their hopes of a home semi-final blown away by a powerful second half display from Saracens at Allianz Park.
The Londoners produced a rock-solid display, both in attack and defence, to not only see off the Chiefs, but at the same time book their own place in the last four of the competition.
Ricky Pellow believes it’s testament to the quality and professionalism within the squad that Exeter Chiefs are pushing hard for honours on three fronts this season.
Having positioned themselves nicely amongst the Premiership’s leading lights, as well as booking a last eight place in the European Challenge Cup, the Devon club last week became the first side to ensure their place in this season’s LV= Cup semi-finals with victory away to the Newport-Gwent Dragons.
Last Sunday’s 37-32 success at Rodney Parade meant the Chiefs will top Pool Four regardless of what happens...
With less than eight months to go to the Rugby World Cup, the final preparations to showcase Exeter Rugby Club’s facilities on the world stage are well underway, backed by a suite of funding packages from Barclays.
Exeter, alongside Gloucester’s Kingsholm Stadium, are the only two rugby club venues in the country that have been selected to host matches as part of the Rugby World Cup 2015 which, according to a study undertaken by EY on behalf of the Organising Committee, has estimated £39m of economic activity up for grabs for Exeter, in welcoming players, fans and visitors to the...
Defending champions Exeter Chiefs booked their place in the last four of this season’s LV= Cup with this hard-fought victory away to Newport-Gwent Dragons.
Rob Baxter’s side ran in five tries on their way to victory in Wales through Adam Hughes, Fetu’u Vainikolo, Tom James, Sam Skinner and a Penalty Try, but they were made to fight all the way by the Welsh region who themselves ran in four touchdowns of their own during a points-filled second half.
It was no more than the Chiefs – whose other points came courtesy of former...

Having already advanced to the latter stages of European competition, Exeter Chiefs know victory in Wales this weekend will see them edge ever closer to the last four of this season’s LV= Cup.
Impressive home victories over Gloucester and Bath have positioned Rob Baxter’s side top of their pool at the halfway stage - and another success today (Sunday) against Newport-Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade (2:30pm) will have the Devon club all but there in terms of qualification.
However, the Chiefs are well aware any trip into the Principality is far from easy and that a semi-final...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Geoff Parling can have a “positive influence” on and off the field at Sandy Park after he today agreed terms with the Aviva Premiership club.
The England and British Lions lock, who has penned a two-year deal with the Chiefs, joins from league rivals Leicester Tigers, where he has amassed 89 appearances in total since signing in 2009 from former club Newcastle Falcons.
As one of two new arrivals confirmed by Baxter today, the other being Bath speedster Olly Woodburn, Baxter believes he has recruited two proven, top-...
