Exeter is behind Jack Nowell as he represents the city in his England debut this afternoon.

Prominent voices from around the city have come forward to offer their support of the 20-year-old Nowell Chiefs Player, after he was named as England’s starting wing for their opening Six Nations game against France on Saturday.

Nowell, described as a “Natural rugby player” by Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter came Exeter academy system which has also produced a number of top-quality players such as Dave Ewers, Henry Slade and centre Sam Hill. Among Nowell’s supporters is Exeter’s MP Ben...

Exeter Chiefs wing Jack Nowell is set to debut for England on Saturday in the opening game of the RBS Six Nations.

The 20-year-old has already established himself as a regular starter for the Chiefs in premiership games and has been described as a ‘natural ruby player’ by head coach Rob Baxter.

Some commentators have claimed that the choice of Nowell in a new backline with only a combined total of only 91 caps by England’s head coach Stuart Lancaster is a risky proposition.

Rob Baxter has attempted to calm fears around Nowell’s inexperience, he said: “He certainly...

Skills coach Ricky Pellow wants Exeter Chiefs to use last week's Heineken Cup win at Cardiff Blues as the springboard for another big performance against Welsh opposition again tomorrow. A week after claiming an impressive 19-13 success at the Arms Park, the Chiefs switch their attentions from European battle to that of the LV= Cup and the impending visit of the Ospreys to Sandy Park (3pm). For a third successive season the Anglo-Welsh tournament has pitted the Chiefs against the Ospreys on Devon soil - and the home side will be hoping that past experiences continue as they have twice...

Ewers agrees new deal at Chiefs

Dave Ewers wants to help Exeter Chiefs become a real force within the English game after he today agreed a new two-year contract with the Aviva Premiership club.

A product of the club's highly successful academy set-up, the imposing 23-year-old forward has taken his game to new heights this season, not only establishing himself as a first-team regular with the Devon club, but also impressing enough to be named in Stuart Lancaster's England Saxons squad.

Ewers' decision to stay at Sandy Park offers yet another boost to Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter, who in recent weeks has...

Thomas Waldrom says he is “excited” by the challenge that lies ahead after he today sealed a move to the Exeter Chiefs from Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers.

The 30-year-old England international will join the Devon club from the start of next season after recently agreeing a three-year contract with the Chiefs.

Waldrom’s switch to the Westcountry will bring to an end a successful four-year stint at Welford Road for the powerful back-row forward. Not only has he won five caps for England during his time in the East Midlands, but he has also claimed a Premiership...

Chiefs side to face Cardiff Blues

Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to wrap up their Heineken Cup campaign in style when they travel to Cardiff Blues in tomorrow's final Pool Two fixture at the Arms Park (3.40pm). With European qualification hopes of any kind all but extinguished with last weekend's 15-10 home loss against Glasgow Warriors, the Chiefs are still determined to prove their worth in European Rugby's top cup competition and record a notable double over the star-studded Blues. At Sandy Park in October, Baxter's men produced a devastating first 40 minutes to blow aside the Welsh region. Not only was the all...
