The race to make it to the big game is an open contest, with DraftKings latest Super Bowl odds suggesting that the Seattle Seahawks are the slight favourites. But while we don’t know exactly who will be there, we do know...

It’s the kind of thing you dream of as a youngster, but tomorrow Jack Nowell’s dreams will become reality when the Exeter Chiefs star runs out for England at Twickenham for the first time in his fledgling international career. The 20-year-old has again been named in Stuart Lancaster’s starting XV for their latest Six Nations encounter against Ireland. Fresh from victory away to Scotland a fortnight ago at Murrayfield, England will now be looking to throw a spanner in the works of the visiting Irish, who themselves have yet to taste defeat in this season’s competition following wins over...

Chiefs must learn from their mistakes - Moon

Ben Moon says it's vital Exeter Chiefs cut out the "silly mistakes" if they are to challenge as one of the leading lights in the Aviva Premiership this season.

The 24-year-old prop could not hide his disappointment after the Chiefs slipped to yet another narrow defeat when they went down 27-23 to rivals Bath at Sandy Park last Saturday.

Back-to-back home defeats to Northampton Saints and Bath have left Rob Baxter's sitting in eighth position, some ten points adrift of fourth-placed Harlequins, who occupy the last of the four play-off berths.

With a trip to high-...

Scrum-half Haydn Thomas and back-row forward Kai Horstmann are the latest to put pen to paper on new contracts that will keep both players at Sandy Park until at least the summer of 2015.

Having already retained the services of Ian Whitten, Dave Ewers, Tom Johnson, Damian Welch, Jack Yeandle and skipper Dean Mumm in recent times, the news that both Thomas and Horstmann are hanging about is yet another boost for the Chiefs leader.

“First and foremost we’re really pleased with how both guys are playing,” said Baxter. “The other part of it is we’re really pleased with the kind...

Exeter City extend unbeaten run to 5

Report: Exeter City 1 Morecambe 1

Following a bizarre finish which saw referee Andy D’Urso awarded the Grecians a penalty before changing his mind, Exeter City’s Sky Bet League 2 match against Morecambe ended 1-1 at St James Park.

Tom Nichols fired City in front with barely a minute on the clock, but Padraig Amond found a second-half equaliser.

The big talking point, though, was the final few minutes, as David Wheeler went down in the box, and was initially awarded a penalty before that decision was overruled. Jamie Devitt was dismissed for violent conduct after...

Mumm targets away-day response

Dean Mumm insists he and his Exeter Chiefs' team-mates have "nothing to lose" ahead of this Sunday's Aviva Premiership encounter with Saracens at Allianz Park (3.15pm). The Australian international was as disappointed as anyone inside Sandy Park last Saturday as the Chiefs were again undone by rivals Bath Rugby in an enthralling Westcountry derby. The narrow 27-23 loss was again another tough pill to swallow for Devon's finest and the 29-year-old forward believes it's vital the Chiefs learn from the experiences if they are to push forward. "It was probably a missed opportunity for us and...

Talent on show at Golf and Country Club

Exeter Golf and Country Club hosted their own version of the World Tennis Tournament on Saturday 15 February to coincide with the professional event in Rotterdam.

The club’s 12 and under players took part in a knockout event with many close matches leading to a final between George Guy and Marcus Kay. The final was an incredibly close contest and came down to the final point which was won by George.

James Temple, Head of Rackets, said: “The junior players really enjoy these events and take a keen interest in the professional tour as a result. It’s a great opportunity for...

Exeter Chiefs 23 Bath Rugby 27

The Bath hoodoo shows no sign of abating for Exeter Chiefs after they were once again undone by their Westcountry rivals in a hard-fought derby encounter at a packed Sandy Park.

Mike Ford’s high-flying outfit edged out their Devon counterparts thanks to tries from Ollie Devoto, Kyle Eastmond and Nick Abendanon, whilst Ford’s talented son, fly-half George Ford, weighed in with the remainder of their points as he converted all three scores, as well as adding two penalties.

For the Chiefs, it was yet more Aviva Premiership heartache as...

Grecians come out on top

Exeter City were 3-2 winners against Southend United at Roots Hall, as Eliot Richards’ first goal in City colours –in the 87th minute – capped a thoroughly entertaining affair in the Grecians’ favour.

City had gone ahead first through Jimmy Keohane, but the lead was short-lived as Mark Phillips headed the Shrimpers level two minutes later. The centre-half was on hand again to give Southend the advantage in the first period.

But an absolute rocket of a shot by Liam Sercombe earned an equaliser for the Grecians, before a smart piece of forward play by Richards in his second...

Baxter's delight at Low capture

Scottish international Moray Low is heading to the Aviva Premiership next season after he today finalised his much-anticipated move to Exeter Chiefs.

The 29-year-old tight-head, who has penned a two-year deal at Sandy Park, will help fill the void left at the Chiefs by the departures of Hoani Tui and Craig Mitchell at the end of the season.

Maori ace Tui is heading across the English Channel to sign for Lyon, whilst Welsh international Mitchell is heading home to the Principality to take up a new contract with the Cardiff Blues.

Baxter, however, believes he has...
