Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter admitted he took a "great deal of pride" from his side's showing as they completed a league double over reigning Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins. Baxter watched on intently as his team battled back from conceding a converted Ugo Monye try early on to record a 27-16 victory at the Twickenham Stoop. Fly-half Gareth Steenson was the chief tormentor for the home side as not only did he help himself to an excellent 17-point haul with the boot, but his impressive on-field display also helped him create second half tries for Damian Welch and Luke Arscott...

I do realise that many of you are yet to be convinced about the need for a Police and...

A newly published book, ‘Calming Colic - How to Help the 10 Causes of Colic’ by osteopath and naturopath Christian Bates, contradicts the thinking on the NHS website which says that, ‘...the causes of colic are unknown and that there is no cure’.
