Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Michele Campagnaro can help add some additional ‘X-Factor’ to his side’s back division next season.
Having already bolstered his options with the recruitment of both Geoff Parling and Ollie Woodburn in recent weeks, Baxter has ventured a little further afield for his third new capture who joins from Rabo ProDirect 12 side Benetton Treviso.
As always, the Chiefs supremo and his coaching team have monitored Campagnaro’s performance for some time and having put together a detailed assessment of the Mirano-born back, they...

If Exeter Chiefs are to become the first-ever side to reclaim the LV= Cup, then the hard work will have to be carried out in the rugby hotbed of the East Midlands.
The defending champions saw their hopes of a home semi-final blown away by a powerful second half display from Saracens at Allianz Park.
The Londoners produced a rock-solid display, both in attack and defence, to not only see off the Chiefs, but at the same time book their own place in the last four of the competition.
Ricky Pellow believes it’s testament to the quality and professionalism within the squad that Exeter Chiefs are pushing hard for honours on three fronts this season.
Having positioned themselves nicely amongst the Premiership’s leading lights, as well as booking a last eight place in the European Challenge Cup, the Devon club last week became the first side to ensure their place in this season’s LV= Cup semi-finals with victory away to the Newport-Gwent Dragons.
Last Sunday’s 37-32 success at Rodney Parade meant the Chiefs will top Pool Four regardless of what happens...
