Chiefs 'quietly satisfied' with Saints win

Rob Baxter and his team admitted they had been left “quietly satisfied” after they secured a first-ever Aviva Premiership win at champions Northampton Saints.

Converted first half tries from Luke Cowan-Dickie and Thomas Waldrom (2) paved the way for a fifth top flight win of the campaign - and moved Baxter’s side into second spot, just two points behind their hosts who despite a strong second half display eventually went down 24-18.

Tom Stephenson and Jamie Elliott claimed Northampton’s tries on the night, whilst fly-half Stephen Myler weighed in with the remainder of their...

Landmark victory for Exeter Chiefs

If Rob Baxter wanted a barometer of how his side are progressing, then winning at the reigning Aviva Premiership champions isn’t a bad starting point.

Thomas Waldrom’s first half try double, together with an earlier touchdown from Luke Cowan-Dickie, helped pave the way for a first-ever win for the Exeter Chiefs at Northampton’s Franklin’s Gardens. Fly-half

Gareth Steenson completed the job for the visitors as he converted all three tries, as well as adding a second half penalty.

The win lift the Chiefs to second in the table, a point behind the Saints who themselves...

Chiefs side to face Saints

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes his side’s return to Aviva Premiership action this week will reveal plenty about how they could ultimately fare this season.

After four weeks of European and LV= Cup action, it’s back to the bread and butter of the top flight for the Chiefs, who tonight face defending champions Northampton Saints at Franklin’s Gardens (7.45pm).

With the Saints currently occupying top spot and the Chiefs two rungs down the ladder, some five points adrift, this latest match-up promises to be the ultimate test for Baxter’s men on their league return...

Prop Moray Low believes Exeter Chiefs’ recent cup exploits have given the club the perfect lift as they prepare to head back into Aviva Premiership action this Friday.

Three victories in four games have helped to put Rob Baxter’s side not only top of their European Challenge Cup pool, but also at the summit of their LV= Cup group as well following back-to-back successes against rivals Gloucester and Bath.

It has - according to Scottish international Low - been a profitable four weeks for the Chiefs, who know they will face an acid test next up against defending league...

Exeter Chiefs 18 Bath Rugby 6

Having taken an age to claim their first victory over Bath in the professional era last season, Exeter Chiefs made it back-to-back successes against their arch rivals as they maintained their unbeaten start to this season’s LV= Cup campaign.

It was back in March – at the 12th time of asking – that Rob Baxter’s side finally banished their Bath bogey when they claimed a 22-19 semi-final victory at the Recreation Ground.

Not only did the result ensure the Devon club booked a home final – which they would win a week later for their first piece of major silverware – but it...

Backs coach Ali Hepher is expecting a much-improved display from his Exeter Chiefs side as they continue the defence of their LV= Cup crown against arch rivals Bath Rugby tomorrow (4.30pm).

Last season’s champions kicked-off their campaign a week ago by claiming a narrow 28-27 victory over Gloucester at Sandy Park, but it could easily have been different had visiting fly-half Aled Thomas not failed with a last minute penalty chance.

As It was, Thomas’ long-range effort cannoned back off the posts and the Chiefs were able to toast a winning start against the Cherry &...

Newcomer excited to be at Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs newcomer Byron McGuigan says he is “excited” by the challenges that lie ahead after he today confirmed his move to the Aviva Premiership club.

The 25-year-old, who has previously played for Border Bulldogs, Glasgow Warriors and, more recently, Bay of Plenty in New Zealand’s ITM Cup, has agreed a short-term contract with the Chiefs until the end of the current campaign.

McGuigan is the latest addition to the playing ranks at Sandy Park after head coach Rob Baxter previously indicated he was keen to bolster his options, particularly in the back three.

Chiefs serve up a Halloween weekend treat

Exeter Chiefs 28 Gloucester 27

On Halloween weekend, Exeter Chiefs served up their supporters a timely treat as they kicked off the defence of their LV= Cup crown with a thrilling 28-27 victory over rivals Gloucester at Sandy Park.

A converted penalty try – two minutes from time – proved the difference on the day, although the visiting Cherry & Whites could easily have stolen it had Aled Thomas not seen a penalty chance cannon back of the posts with the very last kick of the game.

In what was a pulsating encounter throughout, the Chiefs sealed victory thanks to...

Ricky Pellow expects to see a real hunger amongst his Exeter Chiefs side as they look to kick off the defence of their LV= Cup crown with victory over Gloucester tomorrow (3pm). In what was a memorable campaign for the Devon club last season, the Chiefs collected their first piece of major silverware when they sunk Northampton Saints 15-8 at their own Sandy Park home back in March. This weekend, however, it all begins again for the Chiefs and Pellow, who has again been entrusted as head coach for the competition. As has become the norm in recent years for the club, youth will again get it'...
