Exeter Chiefs Season Launch

The annual season launch of the Exeter Chiefs is taking place this weekend, on Saturday 9 August.

The fun filled event will run between 10am and 1pm and will be held in Bedford Square.

This is a chance for supporters to meet the players and coaching staff before the season kicks off in early September.

Due to a major redevelopment at Sandy Park this summer, the Chiefs won’t host a pre-season game, and their first home match isn’t until 13th September when they will welcome the Leicester Tigers.

This event allows the supporters to learn more about the clubs...

Botha is relishing his chance at the Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs newcomer Chrysander Botha said the chance of testing himself both in the Aviva Premiership and European Rugby was an opportunity he simply could not turn down.

The Namibian international is just days into a two-year deal with the Chiefs, but already the 26-year-old admits he is settling in well to his new Westcountry surroundings.

Botha was head coach Rob Baxter’s eighth summer signing having just jetted in from South African Super Rugby franchise, the Lions, and will offer yet another attacking option to the Chiefs back three this term.

For Botha,...

'Exciting' start for the Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says he and his team are "excited" by what lies ahead after the 2014/15 Aviva Premiership fixtures were confirmed.

The Devon club will kick-off their league season on Sunday, September 7 in a televised clash against newly-promoted London Welsh at the Kassam Stadium.

It will mark a second league visit to the Oxford venue for the Chiefs, who two seasons ago went down 25-24 against the Exiles.

Baxter, though, knows what is needed and with his new-look side already deep into their pre-season planning, the countdown to the new season...

Head coach Rob Baxter says he is encouraged by the way his Exeter Chiefs have reported back for pre-season training this week.

Just a handful of weeks after bringing the curtain down on the 2013/14 season - one which brought about a first piece of major silverware for the Devon club - the Chiefs regrouped on Monday for the start of their build-up to the new campaign.

Welcoming back a large nucleus of last season's LV= Cup winning squad, Baxter was also able to parade a selection of his new recruits with Ryan Caldwell, Tomas Francis, Mitch Lees and Thomas Waldrom in...

Sturgess aims for a return to action

Exeter Chiefs prop Brett Sturgess is hopeful he will get to feature during the club's pre-season build-up as he draws ever nearer to a competitive return.

The 32-year-old forward has been sidelined since December when he sustained a serious knee ligament injury in the dying moments of his side's loss to Harlequins in Big Game 6 at Twickenham.

Since that untimely blow Sturgess has been grafting away on his rehabilitation programme, ensuring he not only recovers from the injury, but gets himself in perfect nick for what promises to be another big season for the Westcountry...
