Rob Baxter says he expects to see a response of sorts from his Exeter Chiefs side in the wake of last weekend’s Aviva Premiership defeat at home to Worcester Warriors. The reigning champions not only slipped to a second successive league defeat in their 6-5 reverse, but at the same time saw their lengthy unbeaten home record in the top flight – which dates back to October 2016 – come to an abrupt end. Now, the Chiefs Director of Rugby is looking for his team to bounce back at the first attempt in their top four clash with arch rivals Wasps on Sunday at the Ricoh Arena (3pm). “I’ve never...

Armand targets rapid response

Don Armand believes it won't take much to help Exeter Chiefs rediscover their winning formula, after they slipped to a rare home defeat against Worcester at the weekend. The visiting Warriors became the first side since Bath in October 2016 to emerge victorious from Sandy Park, edging out the reigning Aviva Premiership champions 6-5 in a low-scoring Round 14 encounter. Defeat for the Chiefs, coupled with a win for Saracens over Newcastle Falcons, means Exeter's lead at the summit of the standings has now been reduced to just two points. Next best are Wasps, who themselves maintained third...

A bit like London buses, nothing for ages, then all of a sudden you get a flurry.

Well, it’s the same for Worcester Warriors, who having seen off Exeter Chiefs in the Anglo-Welsh Cup last month, then repeated the dose by becoming the first side to win an Aviva Premiership game at Sandy Park since Bath prospered back in October 2016.

Not since the Chiefs were elevated into English rugby’s top tier back in 2010 have Worcester tasted a league victory against Rob Baxter’s side - whilst you have to go all the way back to 2004, the days of the old County Ground, to note their...

Chiefs side to face Worcester Warriors

Rob Baxter says his Exeter Chiefs side are facing a pivotal month ahead as they look to strength their position at the summit of the Aviva Premiership. The reigning champions head into tomorrow’s Round 14 battle against visiting Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park (2pm), looking to build on their five-point advantage over next-best Saracens at the top of the table. Having used the past fortnight in the Anglo-Welsh Cup to not only recharge a number of his frontline stars, Baxter has also seen others first-team stars come to the fore as Devon’s finest progressed into the last four of the...

It’s been given the moniker Super Sunday, and judging by the entries, Exeter’s meeting this weekend (February 11) looks set to live up to its name.

Racing aficionados will remember that it was five years ago that Many Clouds, carrying the famous green, yellow and white colours of Trevor Hemmings, romped to glory in the two miles two and a half furlongs novices’ hurdle. Following that win, he quickly asserted himself as one of the nation’s favourite ever racehorses winning nearly £1million in prize money, including the 2015 Grand National.

On Sunday, Jurby will carry those...
