Rob Baxter’s side made it a perfect five from five at home in the Aviva Premiership as they overcame visiting London Wasps at Sandy Park.
The Westcountry’s finest moved into the top five courtesy of tries from Chris Whitehead, Haydn Thomas and Phil Dollman; whilst fly-half Gareth Steenson weighed in with the remainder of the Devon side’s points. For Wasps, it meant yet more misery for Londoners on Devon soil – they have now lost all three previous encounters at Sandy Park – and all they could muster was a losing bonus point courtesy of Tommy Bell’s late penalty. Fresh from their first...
Exeter Chiefs put their unbeaten home record in the Aviva Premiership on the line tomorrow when they play host to London Wasps in the day's late kick-off (5.30pm).
Having seen off Sale Sharks, Saracens, Harlequins and Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park this term, Exeter's assistant coach Ali Hepher wants his side to at least replicate those displays against a much-improved Wasps line-up.
Whereas last season's Dai Young's side spent much of the campaign fighting relegation with Newcastle Falcons, this time round the Wycombe-based outfit appear to be much improved and last...
Dean Mumm insists Exeter Chiefs can expect a formidable test when they welcome London Wasps to Devon this Saturday in the Aviva Premiership (5.30pm).
Like many at Sandy Park, the experienced Australian international clearly noted the display put in by Dai Young's side a week ago as they overcame Leicester Tigers 14-12 to record their fourth top flight win of the season.
The same day, however, the Chiefs were also in winning form as they recorded their first Premiership away scalp of the 2012/13 season with a maiden 27-23 success at London Irish.

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after another three of his first-team squad today committed their futures to the Aviva Premiership club.
Prop Carl Rimmer, together with scrum-half Will Chudley and centre Phil Dollman, have all agreed to extend their stays at Sandy Park for a further two years following talks with Baxter in recent weeks.
The news is yet another welcome boost for the Chiefs, who last week confirmed that forwards Luke Cowan-Dickie and Chris Whitehead, had also agreed new terms.
It may not have been the same flowing play that had shown a week earlier in Oxford, but Exeter Chiefs were once again triumphant in their latest LV= Cup encounter against the visiting Ospreys, writes Mark Stevens.
The Chiefs moved to top of Pool One – they lead Harlequins on points difference – by overcoming the Welsh region for the second time in the space of a year at Sandy Park.
First half tries from Will Carrick-Smith and Myles Dorrian paved the way for their latest success story, whilst fly-half Henry Slade weighed in with the remainder of their points.

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter praised his side as they returned to winning ways with an impressive 33-9 victory over Worcester Warriors in the Aviva Premiership.
Having suffered defeats to Leinster and Clermont Auvergne in the Heineken Cup, as well a setback on the road at Bath just seven days earlier, the Chiefs rediscovered their winning formula in style as tries from Gonzalo Camacho, Haydn Thomas and Chris Budgen helped pave the way for Exeter’s fourth league win of the season.
As well as the three tries, fly-half Gareth Steenson kicked over a further 16 points,...
Exeter Chiefs prop Chris Budgen dedicated his try in his side's Aviva Premiership win over Worcester Warriors to the memory of his premature twin sons who died recently.
The 39-year-old New Zealander claimed Exeter's final score in their 33-9 victory at Sandy Park - a result which ended a three-game losing streak for the Chiefs in both the league and cup.
Introduced as a late replacement, Budgen - aided by a hefty shove from his team-mates - burrowed his way over from close range to claim his second score of the season and ensure the Chiefs maintained their unbeaten...
