Greg Bateman believes lessons learnt last season by the Exeter Chiefs are paying dividends this term with the Devon club riding high in the Aviva Premiership.
Rob Baxter’s side finished last season’s Premiership campaign in eighth spot, matching the same position that they finished in their inaugural season amongst English rugby’s elite.
It was a disappointing outcome for the Chiefs, especially having landed top six finishes in their two previous seasons.
There were, however, mitigating factors according to head coach Baxter, who not only saw his side slip to a...

Jack Nowell shook off the effects of pre-game illness to help Exeter Chiefs to maintain their fine form in this season’s Aviva Premiership.
The England international admitted after his side’s latest top flight win over Wasps that he had been ‘sick’ and ‘feeling rough’ just hours before he claimed a try double for the Devon club.
For Nowell, the win not only saw Rob Baxter’s side momentarily move to the summit of the Premiership, but it also ended his own 19-month wait to score a first team try. Ironically, his last Premiership try came against Wasps in a 37-24 win at Adams...

Exeter’s four-point haul from their trip to the East Midlands not only ensured a notable scalp for Rob Baxter’s side, but it moved the Chiefs to second in the table, just two points behind their...
In what promises to be a week to remember for Phil Dollman, not only is the Exeter Chiefs back poised to run out for his 100th league appearance this weekend, but he has today confirmed a new two-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club.
Signed in 2009 from the Newport-Gwent Dragons, the talented Welshman has played an integral part in the recent rise of the Chiefs.
In his first season at Sandy Park, Dollman helped the Devon club to get promoted into the Premiership and has since gone on to be a key figure in Rob Baxter’s squad as the Chiefs took on the elite of both the...
Thomas Waldrom says it’s vital Exeter Chiefs continue to “stamp their authority” on games if they are to keep themselves amongst the Aviva Premiership frontrunners.
Five wins in seven starts have lifted Rob Baxter’s side to second in the current standings, just two points behind leaders and defending champions Northampton Saints, who they happened to defeat 24-18 on Friday night at Franklin’s Gardens.
Summer signing Waldrom helped lead the way for the Chiefs as his try double nestled nicely alongside an early score from fellow forward Luke Cowan-Dickie and a further nine...

A powerful first half display from the visitors saw them storm into a 21-6 lead at the break thanks to converted tries from Luke Cowan-Dickie and Thomas Waldrom (2).
