Exeter Chiefs chairman says new American owners will bring ‘razzmatazz’ to rugby union

Exeter Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe believes that the club’s impending takeover by an American consortium could transform the Gallagher Premiership.

The billionaire owners of English Premier League club Bournemouth have agreed a deal for the club, subject to the membership’s approval at an extraordinary general meeting on May 7.

If the deal is ratified, Exeter Chiefs will become the latest Premiership team alongside Newcastle and Bath to secure major new investment.

Chiefs side to face London Wasps

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is confident he will see a response from his side when they return to Aviva Premiership action this Sunday at London Wasps (3pm).

Just a week after going down 22-6 to Harlequins in Big Game 6 at a packed Twickenham Stadium, Devon's finest will again be hitting the road in pursuit of vital league points.

Last weekend's loss in the capital saw the Chiefs slip to sixth in the current standings, a place above this weekend's hosts who themselves warmed up for this encounter with a hard fought 17-12 success at Newcastle Falcons.

Tom Johnson will extend his Exeter Chiefs career into a tenth year after he today put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club. With his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has wasted little time in tying down the future of the England international.

Signed ahead of the 2011/12 season from Welsh region Scarlets, the 31-year-old has settled well to life in the Westcountry and has installed himself as a senior figure within Rob Baxter’s first-team squad. With 30 appearances and six tries already to his name, Welch is determined to build on what has been a solid start to life at Sandy Park for the towering second-row forward. “I’ve loved being here since I got here,” he said. “It...

Torquay Utd 1 Exeter City 3

Exeter City got back to winning ways with a 3-1 win against Torquay United at Plainmoor, and in doing so keeping up the perfect record in West County derbies this season.

It felt like a must-win fixture for the Grecians and that’s precisely what happened – leaving their neighbours from Torquay in the relegation zone going into 2014 and allowing the Grecians to put the play-off spots back into the crosshairs again for the New Year.

The Grecians, however, were let off early on as Karl Hawley saw his spot-kick saved by Artur Krysiak after Billy Bodin drew a foul just...
