Rob Baxter believes Dave Lewis will get his chance to have a ‘big say’ on how the Exeter Chiefs will go over the remainder of the season.

A pre-season elbow injury sustained at Cardiff Blues meant Lewis was forced to sit out much of the opening half of the season, but now fully fit the former Gloucester back is looking to help the Chiefs kick on.

Jerry Sexton hopes he gets to experience the match-day buzz of Sandy Park again this season after he made his Aviva Premiership debut for the Exeter Chiefs in Saturday's narrow loss to Gloucester.

The 21-year-old forward was used as a second half replacement by head coach Rob Baxter, replacing team-mate Mitch Lees who was forced out of the action due to injury.

Given his opportunity to shine, Sexton - the younger brother of Ireland and British Lions fly-half, Jonathan Sexton - did not disappoint, putting himself about the field in a committed display at a packed out Sandy...

Haydn Thomas insists there will be no panic within the ranks despite Exeter Chiefs slipping to a third successive Aviva Premiership defeat on Saturday.

In what was Thomas' 200th appearance for the Devon outfit, it was former club Gloucester who took the spoils 26-25 in a highly entertaining encounter at a packed Sandy Park.

After back-to-back losses away to Sale Sharks and Bath Rugby, Rob Baxter's side were hoping a return to familiar home surroundings would provide the ideal catalyst for them to rediscover their winning formula.
