Gareth Steenson insists the hard work has already started as Exeter Chiefs quickly look to banish the disappointment of Friday's Aviva Premiership defeat to lowly Sale Sharks.
Seemingly in control at 16-5 up early in the second half thanks to 11 points from Steenson and a try from Fijian newcomer Watisoni Votu, the Chiefs then appeared to implode as they allowed the Sharks to fight their way back into the contest, eventually undoing their Devon rivals 21-16 to claim only their third top flight win of the season.
It was indeed a disappointing outcome for Rob Baxter's side,...

As well as encouraging you to test your smoke alarms regularly, Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue are working alongside a Fire Kills campaign to encourage you to test the smoke alarms of older relatives, friends and neighbours.
Testing smoke alarms can often be a tricky operation for an older person. The position of the alarm makes it harder to reach as well as the changing of the batteries.
Did you know they are four times more likely to die in a fire if they do not have a working smoke alarm?
An early warning is vital for everyone to make a safe escape in a...

A second-half brace by Jamie Cureton, and a strike from Arron Davies, gave Exeter City a club record tenth away win of the season with a 3-0 win at Morecambe.
The Students put up a tough fight but failed to match Okehampton's three in an energetic match between two close rivals of the South West Peninsular Division One.
University of Exeter missed several opportunities to take the lead in a fairly even start, but it was Argyle who struck first with a strong header from a corner after quarter of an hour played. Their lead lasted just four minutes though, as a fantastic looping shot from outside the box put the home side on level terms temporarily.
Anyone passing through Cathedral Green this evening (8th February), between 4.30pm and 10pm, were treated to the vision of a diverse range of large paintings projected onto Exeter Cathedral.
The Devon & Cornwall Police & Crime Panel has approved plans to raise the policing part of the Council tax precept by 2%. This equates to an increase, on average, of £3.19 per household per year.
