On Halloween weekend, Exeter Chiefs served up their supporters a timely treat as they kicked off the defence of their LV= Cup crown with a thrilling 28-27 victory over rivals Gloucester at Sandy Park.
A converted penalty try – two minutes from time – proved the difference on the day, although the visiting Cherry & Whites could easily have stolen it had Aled Thomas not seen a penalty chance cannon back of the posts with the very last kick of the game.
In what was a pulsating encounter throughout, the Chiefs sealed victory thanks to...
Dean Mumm says the opportunity is there for him and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates to go out and “start making new memories” ahead of the club’s defence of their LV= Cup crown this weekend.
It was back in March that the Australian international had the honour of lifting Exeter’s first piece of major silverware when the Chiefs defeated Northampton Saints on their own Sandy Park turf.
Skipper Mumm grabbed one of two tries on the day, the other going to hooker Chris Whitehead, as Rob Baxter’s claimed a memorable 15-8 victory.
Gareth Steenson insists there is still "more to come" from him despite landing another milestone in his illustrious Exeter Chiefs career. Steenson's eight-point haul in last weekend's European Challenge Cup victory over Connacht not only helped his side move to the top of Pool Two, but it also took him past 1,500 career points for the Devon club. Now into his seventh season at Sandy Park, the Dungannon-born star has played an integral part in the recent rise of the Chiefs. His metronomic right boot has not only helped to down teams across England and Europe, but it's helped pin-point Rob...
Exeter Chiefs moved to the top of Pool Two in this season’s European Rugby Challenge Cup with an impressive five-try victory over visiting Connacht.
Rob Baxter’s side put to bed the disappointment of defeat to Bayonne seven days earlier by producing a ruthless display that swot aside the attentions of the visiting Irish province.
First half tries from Will Chudley, Henry Slade and Damian Welch set them on course for victory before man-of-the-match Dave Ewers and Ben White got in on the act during the second period.
Irish fly-half Gareth Steenson plundered four of...

Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell says he is "over the moon" after he was named in Stuart Lancaster's 33-man England squad for the upcoming QBE Autumn Internationals.
The talented Cornishman is Exeter's sole representative in the England party, who over the course of November will tackle world champions New Zealand (Nov 8), South Africa (Nov 15), Samoa (Nov 22) and Australia (Nov 29).
For Nowell, his inclusion offers him the chance to add to his current tally of five international caps, all of which were gained during this year's Six Nations campaign.
