In what has certainly been a year to remember for Henry Slade, the Exeter Chiefs young gun insists his key aim moving forward is to just "keep his head down".
During a terrific 12 months for the 21-year-old playmaker, not only has Slade helped England Under-20s to lift the Junior World Championship for the first time, but he has helped the Chiefs to secure their first-ever major trophy; featured regularly in both the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup; as well as getting senior international action with the England Saxons.
It has - in Slade's own words - been somewhat "...
James Phillips insists Saturday's win at Newcastle Falcons was the perfect way for him to bring down the curtain on his Exeter Chiefs career.
After four seasons at Sandy Park, the imposing forward is set for pastures new next season having sealed a move to Championship side London Scottish. However, he departs the Devon club not only with plenty of good memories, but safe in the knowledge that he has helped forge the Chiefs as one of the leading clubs in English rugby.
Recruited by Rob Baxter in the summer of 2010 after the Chiefs defeated former club Bristol in the...

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after highly-rated forward Luke Cowan-Dickie today put pen to paper on a new contract with the Aviva Premiership club.
The 20-year-old’s new deal – which is a two-year extension to his current contract – will keep him at Sandy Park until at least the summer of 2017 and is another clear indicator that Baxter is willing to back the club’s crop of promising youngsters to deliver on the big stage.
Cornishman Cowan-Dickie, a product of the club’s academy system at Truro College, has built on the success of helping...
It’s been quite a year for Luke Cowan-Dickie, but the young Cornishman is predicting even brighter times ahead for him at Exeter Chiefs in the future.
The 20-year-old hooker today extended his stay at Sandy Park until 2017 when he penned terms on a new contract extension with head coach Rob Baxter.
In a 12-month period that has seen Cowan-Dickie help England Under-20s to Junior World Championship glory; the Chiefs to lift their first major silverware in 143 years; as well as featuring in the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup, it’s little wonder the Truro-born forward has...
With Stuart Lancaster’s options for the England No.2 jersey somewhat stretched right now, Exeter Chiefs starlet Luke Cowan-Dickie reminded the Red Rose supremo of his blossoming talents.
The 20-year-old hooker was the stand-out figure as the Chiefs wrapped up their fourth season in English rugby’s top flight with a 23-13 victory on the road at Newcastle Falcons.
Cowan-Dickie not only claimed the first of Exeter’s three tries on the day, but his live-wire performance throughout would have been duly noted by the watching Lancaster...

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Elvis Taione will offer "something different" to his squad ahead of the 2014/15 season.
The Tongan international is the latest new addition to the playing ranks at Sandy Park having joined from Championship side Jersey.
Baxter has been in the market for a new hooker ever since it was confirmed that Chris Whitehead would be forced to retire with immediate effect following the club's LV= Cup success over Northampton Saints in March.
As always Baxter has studied closely the qualities the powerful 30-year-old can...
Exeter Chiefs saw their hopes of lining up alongside Europe’s elite next season finally ended as a late Tom Guest have Harlequins a narrow victory in a pulsating encounter at Sandy Park.
The Quins’ replacement crossed with just minutes remaining to ensure the Londoners – who had not led until that point – not only headed back to the capital with all five points, but at the same time kept alive their own hopes of being in the Aviva Premiership’s end of season play-offs.
It was indeed a bitter pill to swallow for the Chiefs who, it has to be...
