Chiefs side to face Cardiff Blues

Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to wrap up their Heineken Cup campaign in style when they travel to Cardiff Blues in tomorrow's final Pool Two fixture at the Arms Park (3.40pm). With European qualification hopes of any kind all but extinguished with last weekend's 15-10 home loss against Glasgow Warriors, the Chiefs are still determined to prove their worth in European Rugby's top cup competition and record a notable double over the star-studded Blues. At Sandy Park in October, Baxter's men produced a devastating first 40 minutes to blow aside the Welsh region. Not only was the all...

Luke looking to shine

Having been given his first-ever taste of Heineken Cup action last weekend, Luke Cowan-Dickie is hoping for more European exposure on Saturday when the Exeter Chiefs tackle Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park (3.40pm).

The young Cornishman featured for just over an hour during the narrow 15-10 defeat against visiting Glasgow Warriors and impressed many with his on-field display.

Back on the pitch following a season which has been hampered by a knee injury sustained in the pre-season friendly at Scarlets back in August, the talented 20-year-old says he is clearly keen to make up...

The history of the Grand National

When it comes to horse racing, there is no doubt that the long-standing favourite for the fans is the Grand National. Known as ‘the world’s greatest steeplechase,’ the Grand National is run over 4 miles 3 ½ furlongs, almost two circuits of the famous Aintree racecourse, and with competitors jumping 30 fences along the way. Some of these fences are among the most famous in racing, including Becher’s Brook, Canal Turn, and The Chair.

The event is always extremely popular and figures estimate that around nine million viewers tuned into the 2013 event in the United Kingdom, along with...

Exeter School wins U16 hockey finals

The squad of nine, Luke Crocker (captain), Matt Marsh, Chris Richardson, Paddy Poustie, Tom Edgington, George Hoult, Ed Starling, Jamie Telford and Josh Hanna, won the prestigious title for the second year running.

City suffer stopage time heartbreak

Report: Bristol Rovers 2 Exeter City 1

Exeter City fell to a stoppage-time winner at the hands of Bristol Rovers, as the Pirates triumphed 2-1 at the Memorial Stadium.

The Grecians took a lead midway through the first period when Lee Brown mistakenly looped the ball into his own net, but barely a minute had passed when Rovers were back level as O’Toole made no mistake from the spot.

Despite chances at either end after the break, the game appeared to be tailing out all-square as neither side could burst the net again.

But O’Toole was alive deep into stoppage...

Chiefs Heineken Cup hopes are over

Exeter Chiefs 10 Glasgow Warriors 15

Having started their Heineken Cup campaign in sparkling fashion against Cardiff Blues back in October, the European escapades of Rob Baxter’s Exeter Chiefs side have rapidly lost their fizz ever since.

Sadly this latest loss to visiting Glasgow Warriors not only enabled the visiting Scotsmen to claim a third victory of the season over their Devon hosts, but at the same extinguished any semblance of hope the Chiefs had of advancing to European Rugby’s latter stages.

Having led 10-0 thanks to a converted Fetu’u Vainikolo try and a...

Chiefs side to face Glasgow Warriors

Exeter Chiefs will have a new look to their line-up as they prepare to resume Heineken Cup action at home to Glasgow Warriors tomorrow (3pm).

Just days after slipping to a narrow 19-16 defeat to London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership, head coach Rob Baxter has shuffled his pack as the Devon club look to keep alive their European dreams for another week at least.

Just four players - Tom Johnson, Henry Slade and Luke Arscott - remain in the starting line-up from that which took to the field from the outset at Adams Park last Sunday.

However, it shows the array of...

Call up brings joy for Jack

Exeter Chiefs back Jack Nowell has admitted he was "amazed" to hear that he has today been named in Stuart Lancaster's England Six Nations squad.

Alongside club-mate Tom Johnson, the 20-year-old Cornishman has been promoted from the England Saxons ranks into the full senior ranks.

Nowell's elevation is just reward not only for a sparkling season to date, but also his efforts in the past 12 months which have seen him not only establish himself as a regular starter for the Chiefs in the Premiership and Europe, but also help England Under-20s to lift the Junior World...

Chiefs confirm Tui to depart

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has today confirmed that tight-head prop Hoani Tui is to leave the Aviva Premiership club at the end of the season.

The 29-year-old will join Lyon, the current leaders of Pro D2, on a two-year deal this summer after five seasons playing for the Chiefs in both the Championship and the Premiership.

Signed from Italian outfit Calvisano in 2010, the popular Kiwi forward has to date played 109 times for the Chiefs in all competitions, scoring six tries in the process.

A cornerstone of the Exeter pack since his arrival in Devon, Tui not...

Whitehead backs Chiefs to come good

Exeter Chiefs hooker Chris Whitehead knows the modern-day game has no hiding place, but he insists he and his team-mates will learn lessons from their recent run of defeats.

In what has been a testing block of fixtures for Rob Baxter's side, Sunday's narrow loss at London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership means the Chiefs have now lost seven or their past eight games in all competitions.

That sequence of results has not only see the Chiefs slip to eighth place in the current Premiership standings, but has also dented their hopes of qualification in both the Heineken and LV=...
