Haydon-Wood agrees new Chiefs contract

Exeter Chiefs fly-half Will Haydon-Wood has signed a new deal with the club.

The 25-year-old has provided indispensable cover at both fly-half and centre this season as Chiefs have put together competitive campaigns across three competitions.

Haydon-Wood said: “I’m excited to see what my future holds after re-signing at Exeter.

“I feel like I have settled in the South West with the club being a very tight-knit group, and that is now translating into on-pitch performances this season.

“Being part of a team that is striving to win trophies was a huge part...

Slade earns Baxter's praise

Henry Slade underlined his growing stature in the Aviva Premiership as his 27-point haul helped Exeter Chiefs to a 32-21 victory away to Harlequins on Saturday.

The young fly-half played an instrumental role for the Devon club, scoring a try, two conversions and six penalties as the Chiefs netted their first league double of the campaign at the Twickenham Stoop.

It was another highly polished performance from the 21-year-old, who together with fellow youngsters Sam Hill and Jack Nowell provided an exciting and powerful midfield combination for the Chiefs.

City lose Devon derby

Plymouth Argyle were 3-1 victors in the Devon Derby at St James Park, with their performance capped by a Reuben Reid hat-trick.

A to-and-fro start in front of a near-full house at St James Park was edged in Plymouth’s favour when Argyle top scorer Reuben Reid was the benefactor of a miscued Bobby Reid touch. Reid should have scored again moments late when he had time to turn and shoot, but was punished for not doing so when Arron Davies made it to Jordan Moore-Taylor’s cross in what was the last meaningful action of the first half, and the first time Plymouth had conceded in their...

Match report: Harlequins 21 Exeter Chiefs 32

Rob Baxter admitted afterwards if he could bottle the desire shown by his players in this display, then it would be a remedy coaches around the world would be keen to dish out by the spoonful.

Exeter Chiefs moved back into the top three of the Aviva Premiership with a hard fought victory over Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop.

Another masterful display from fly-half Henry Slade saw the young playmaker help himself to 27 points on the day, whilst flanker Ben White weighed in with the other score during an action-packed...

Chiefs side to face Harlequins

Having seen his side return to winning ways in the Aviva Premiership last weekend, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is hoping for more of the same at Harlequins tomorrow (Saturday 3pm).

Last Saturday’s 46-17 home win over Newcastle Falcons was just the pick-me-up the Westcountry outfit needed following a turgid run of league form either side of Christmas.

Four successive losses meant the Chiefs had allowed a number of their top flight rivals around them to close in - and with it create a bit of log-jam with regards to the positioning around the top end of the table....

Baxter: Italian star has the X-Factor

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Michele Campagnaro can help add some additional ‘X-Factor’ to his side’s back division next season.

Having already bolstered his options with the recruitment of both Geoff Parling and Ollie Woodburn in recent weeks, Baxter has ventured a little further afield for his third new capture who joins from Rabo ProDirect 12 side Benetton Treviso.

As always, the Chiefs supremo and his coaching team have monitored Campagnaro’s performance for some time and having put together a detailed assessment of the Mirano-born back, they...

Campagnaro joins the Chiefs

Italian international Michele Campagnaro says the challenge of testing himself in English rugby’s Aviva Premiership is one that excites him after he today sealed a move to Exeter Chiefs.

The 21-year-old back will depart Benetton Treviso for Sandy Park at the end of the current campaign having put pen to paper on a two-year deal with Rob Baxter’s side.

Capped 13 times by his country, Campagnaro’s arrival in the Westcountry is yet another big statement of intent from the Chiefs, who have already added both Geoff Parling and Ollie Woodburn to their ranks for the 2015/16 season...
