Baxter wasn't approached for England job

Rob Baxter thoughts were never on the possibility of taking over as England’s head coach this past week but on his side bouncing back from last week’s defeat by Ospreys to kick start their European Champions Cup.

His Exeter Chiefs side’s first victory against French opposition came with a 34-19 bonus point victory over Bordeaux-Bègles on a bitterly cold night at Sandy Park after the 9,577 crowd had observed a one-minute silence in memory of those killed in Paris last week.

Baxter wasn’t disappointed that England didn’t give him a call when they were looking for a...

Exeter win the Devon Derby

RYAN HARLEY's two-goal first-half salvo was enough for City to win the Devon derby, beating Plymouth Argyle 2-1 at Home Park.

Paul Tisdale made four changes to the Exeter City starting line-up for the Devon derby, with Ollie Watkins making a first start, Jamie Reid also coming in for his first start since his loan with Conference South side Truro City. Birthday-boy Danny Butterfield and David Wheeler were the other players to come in.

City were to enjoy much the better of the opening ten minutes, with both Jamie Reid and Ollie Watkins looking lively, but it was the home...
