Chiefs side to face Gloucester

Ali Hepher says the time has come for Exeter Chiefs to "get the hammer down" and propel themselves ever closer to the Aviva Premiership play-offs.

With just four rounds of the regular season remaining, the defending champions currently sit top of the pile, eight points clear of next best Saracens, and ten clear of third-place Wasps.

It's a perfect position for Devon's finest to find themselves in, but head coach Hepher acknowledges the Chiefs must look to strengthen their grip on proceedings, starting with Sunday's clash against Gloucester at a packed out Sandy Park (3pm...

How England could line up at World Cup 2018?

Its just a little time before we will witness the biggest sports event of the year, and boy we are excited!

For the England team though, it is about creating the right balance. We do have promising strikers like Harry Kane but they do need to fire. Additionally, football is more about getting the combination right than just expecting one guy to fire away. Which makes us wonder, what should the England team focus on in their line up at the World Cup 2018 ? England would have it a tad bit easier in the group stages having been placed with Belgium, Panama and Tunisia but we really...
