This was capital punishment in it’s harshest form.
Rob Baxter’s side handed out arguably one of their finest displays in the Aviva Premiership to book themselves a first-ever semi-final in the end of season play-offs.
England star Jack Nowell led the way in a ten-try hammering of Harlequins, who were looking to give departing Director of Rugby, Conor O’Shea, the perfect send off before he heads for pastures new.
Instead, the Irishman could only watch on as Devon’s finest ran amok at the Twickenham Stoop. Nowell was crowned man...
Gareth Steenson admitted he was ‘lost for words’ after he was crowned Exeter Chiefs’ Player of the Year at their annual awards night.
In front of almost 600 people at the club’s Sandy Park Stadium, the Irish fly-half landed the highly sought after prize from his peers, beating off stiff competition from team-mates Don Armand and Will Chudley.
Steenson has enjoyed another stellar season in Exeter colours, not only topping the point-scoring charts in the Aviva Premiership, but also overtaking the long-standing record of Tony Yapp as the Devon club’s leading points-scorer....
Rob Baxter is challenging his Exeter Chiefs side to "want more" as they gear up for the club's first-ever appearance in the Aviva Premiership play-offs. The Chiefs will wrap up the final round of the scheduled domestic season at Harlequins tomorrow (3:30pm) knowing a victory in the capital will guarantee them home advantage in a fortnight's time in the last four. Last weekend's impressive 24-3 victory over Wasps saw them leapfrog the Midlanders back into second spot, effectively putting them back in control of their own destiny at such a crucial stage of the campaign. Buoyed by that...
Following the success of the first-ever European Cycle Challenge back in January, a new cycling club has been formed to carry on the fundraising efforts for years to come.
Exeter Chiefs Cycling has been formed to build on the success of this year’s challenge, which saw 23 riders and four support crew make the 485-mile route from Sandy Park to the Stade Chaban Delmas in Bordeaux, raising over £22,000 for the club’s official charity, Exeter Foundation.
The aim of the new club, details of which are to be announced shortly, is to build on the success of the Bordeaux trip and...
A first-ever play-off place assured in the Aviva Premiership, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is now setting new targets for his side as a gripping top flight season heads into the final straight.
Alongside Saracens and Sunday’s visitors to Sandy Park, Wasps, the Chiefs are one of three confirmed play-off contenders with two rounds of the scheduled domestic campaign remaining.
Defending champions Saracens look likely to claim pole position following 22 rounds of action, but the battle for home advantage between the Chiefs and Wasps could well go to the wire if the Devon...
Exeter Chiefs officials can this morning confirm that Sunday’s Aviva Premiership encounter with Wasps at Sandy Park (1pm) is now officially sold out.
The ticket office were hopeful that there may have been a number of tickets returned by Wasps for the much-anticipated clash, but this has not been the case and there will be no sales from this point onwards.
Sunday’s fixture will be the fifth time this season that the Chiefs have sold out a top flight game.
Those who have been unable to obtain tickets for the game should note that the game is to be screened live on BT...
Scotsman Moray Low says it was an 'easy decision' for him to agree terms on a new deal with Aviva Premiership side Exeter Chiefs.
With his initial two-year stay set to expire this summer, the former Glasgow Warriors prop has put pen to paper on a similar deal, tying him to Sandy Park until 2018 at least.
Low’s decision to remain in Devon is yet another timely boost for Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter, who has wasted little time in tying down new contracts for a number of his current squad, as well as adding a fresh sprinkling of new faces for next season.
With little time to wallow in the disappointment of their European Champions Cup exit, it's back to the cut and thrust of the Aviva Premiership for Exeter Chiefs tomorrow as they take on Gloucester at Kingsholm (7.45pm).
Denied a place in the last four of Europe because of Jimmy Gopperth's last-gasp conversion a week ago, the prospect of booking a first-ever appearance in the Premiership play-offs should now act as the ideal incentive for Rob Baxter's side to attack the remainder of the season.
Having narrowly missed out on the play-offs last term due to points' difference...
In 1956 at Aintree it was Devon Loch who seemed destined for Grand National glory only to crash when in sight of the finish line.
Fifty years later, ironically on the same day as the world’s most famous horse race, it was Rob Baxter’s Exeter Chiefs side who slipped in the final furlong, losing their first-ever European Champions Cup quarter-final at the hands of rivals Wasps.
As the stadium clock clicked it’s way into the final second of 80 pulsating minutes, it was home full-back Charles Piutau who powered his way over the whitewash to deliver a telling blow on the...
They say the best form of defence is to attack and that’s the philosophy Rob Baxter will be instilling into his Exeter Chiefs side ahead of tomorrow’s European Champions Cup quarter-final with Wasps at the Ricoh Arena (3:15pm).
For the first time in the club’s history, the Chiefs find themselves vying for a spot in the last four of Europe’s top club competition.
It’s new and uncharted waters for the Devon club, who in just six seasons have risen out of the Championship to establish themselves as one of the growing forces within the English and European game.
