The Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix Series returns to Exeter in July 2017 for the third time with the English stage: Mitsubishi Motors Exeter 7s.
Run in partnership with Exeter City Council, the Mitsubishi Motors Exeter 7s is a fun event for all the family. With thousands of fans heading to Sandy Park over the last two years, the 2017 event is set to be even bigger and better with more rugby and entertainment on offer for spectators.
Following the introduction of rugby sevens into last year’s Olympic Games in Rio, the sport’s popularity continues to grow. This event offers...
Exeter Chiefs extended their unbeaten run in the Aviva Premiership to six games after they shared the spoils with reigning champions Saracens at a packed out Allianz Park.
Rob Baxter’s side bossed the opening 40 minutes to lead 10-3 at the break thanks to a Gareth Steenson penalty and a converted try from Jack Nowell, but it was the Londoners – who lost prop Richard Barrington to a red card after 15 minutes – who proved the stronger in the second period.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Sarries dug deep into their reserves...
The wining partnership between Exeter Chiefs and Exeter College has been celebrated, after Exeter College’s U18 team recently won the AASE League for the first time.
Exeter College won the AASE League Championship Final at high-profile venue Allianz Park, London.
The outstanding victory comes after the launch of the Exeter Chiefs Rugby Academy at Exeter College in 2016. The partnership between Exeter Chiefs and Exeter College provides aspiring rugby players the chance to nurture not only their rugby talent, but also to gain first-class education and training with the Aviva...
Julian Quick, 28, lives with a rare form of bone cancer and has helped create a suite of memes that show people how (not) to ‘speak cancer’, after finding that people are sometimes unsure of how to speak frankly to him about his condition. Julian, a keen sportsman from Weymouth, was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma when he was 26. A University of Exeter sports science graduate and captain of his local rugby team, his cancer was diagnosed in 2014 after having an MRI scan for shoulder pain he suspected was due to a rugby injury. But it turned out to be a tumour. Julian has since been...
Jack Nowell says there has been little time for him and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates to dwell on the disappointment of last weekend’s European Champions Cup loss at the hands of Bordeaux Begles.
The Chiefs saw their European aspirations suffer more disappointment as they slipped to a third successive defeat in Pool 5, going down 13-7 at Sandy Park to the visiting Frenchmen.
This Saturday the two sides will lock horns in the latest round of action, this time at the Stade Chaban Delmas (2pm), and Nowell insists the Premiership club will be looking to bounce back at the first...
Although not quite floored, Exeter Chiefs were dealt another hefty blow as Bordeaux Begles condemned them to a third successive loss in this season’s European Champions Cup at Sandy Park.
Like a prized fighter, the visiting Frenchmen withstood a heavy first half battering from Rob Baxter’s side before countering to deadly effect in the second period.
Jack Maunder’s maiden Exeter try, converted by skipper Gareth Steenson, helped to give the Chiefs a 7-3 lead at the break.
However, the Aviva Premiership side could not add to their tally after the break as Baptiste...
Nothing less than victory will suffice for Rob Baxter and his Exeter Chiefs side ahead of Sunday’s European Champions Cup clash with Bordeaux Begles at Sandy Park (5:30pm).
Currently bottom of Pool 5 with just a solitary point, the Chiefs need to use the next fortnight to revive life back into their European aspirations following successive defeats to ASM Clermont Auvergne and Ulster Rugby in the opening two rounds.
Standing in their way over the next fortnight will be Raphael Ibanez’s Bordeaux side, a team that faced twice last season in the same competition, and a team...
Do you play rugby, live in the UK or Republic of Ireland, were born in Poland or have a Polish parent or grandparent? If so, you can play for Polish national rugby teams - even if you don’t speak the language!
The first trial for rugby players who live in the England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and qualify to play for the Poland, will be held on the 17th December in Exeter.
The trials will take the form of two sessions (commencing at 12:00 and 16:00) and will be held with the Poland Under 18 rugby team who will be on tour in Exeter at the time. The U18 team is scheduled...
Rob Baxter says the time has come for his side to put their foot down and ‘accelerate’ their way through this season’s Aviva Premiership campaign.
After a somewhat mixed start for last season’s beaten finalists, Exeter Chiefs resume their top-flight programme tomorrow evening when they make the long trip to Newcastle Falcons (8pm).
Buoyed by last weekend’s convincing 62-25 win over Cardiff Blues in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, Baxter is hoping the feel-good factor of that ten-try victory will ensure his side arrive in the North East with a spring in their step.
Exeter Chiefs coach Ricky Pellow has described Sunday’s Anglo-Welsh Cup clash with Cardiff Blues as a ‘must-win’ encounter if the Devon club harbour any hopes of qualification to the latter stages.
Undone a week ago at Harlequins 29-15, the Chiefs return to home soil this weekend determined to not only bounce back from that result, but also rediscover their winning formula after a testing few weeks of results across the board.
As is the case in this tournament, the Devon club are not afraid to let youth have it’s chance and blooded a handful of academy graduates off the...
