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.

City's Gosling is still in the Magpies pecking order

Exeter City youngster Jake Gosling has had his loan spell with Dorchester Town extended until Saturday 5th January 2013.

The 19-year-old originally joined the Blue Square Bet South side on an initial one-month loan deal at the beginning of September. The deal was extended at the beginning of last month, just in time for him to feature in the FA Cup fixture against Plymouth Argyle, where he scored the game’s only goal.

His cup run with the Magpies was ended by a 2-1 loss at Luton Town yesterday, but another month with the Dorset side gives the striker another nine...

Chiefs aim to keep winning streak going says Arscott

Exeter Chiefs maybe set for a two-week break from the Aviva Premiership, but full-back Luke Arscott insists he and his team-mates have no intention of letting their winning streak fall by the wayside.

Saturday’s 30-23 home win over London Wasps not only ensured the Chiefs remained within the top six in the current Premiership standings, but it extended their winning streak to five games in all competitions.

With back-to-back encounters against the Scarlets in the Heineken Cup next up...

Baxter says the best is yet to come from Exeter Chiefs

Head coach Rob Baxter was happy to salute his side’s latest Aviva Premiership victory over London Wasps, but he still believes his Exeter Chiefs side have yet to hit top form this season, writes Mark Stevens.

The Chiefs maintained their unbeaten home record in the top flight as they overcame Wasps 30-23 at Sandy Park thanks to tries from Chris Whitehead, Haydn Thomas and Phil Dollman, as well as 15 points from the boot of leading points -scorer Gareth Steenson.

Exeter’s win – their sixth in the Premiership this term – not only helped lift the Chiefs back into the division’s...

Train smart - don't waste your efforts!

If longevity and continued long term gains are what you want from your physical training then this article may help. Many years ago I thought that as long as I killed myself every time I trained then I was doing it right. After all I had read the ‘muscle mag’ type articles and this seemed to be the general theme for Macho-meganess!

Now that I have educated myself a bit I still feel that in order to be the best you can be within your genetic make up some ‘smashing it’ is indeed needed, but as I hope to show here this is not always the case.

Chiefs flying without wings as they swat Wasps

Rob Baxter’s side made it a perfect five from five at home in the Aviva Premiership as they overcame visiting London Wasps at Sandy Park.

The Westcountry’s finest moved into the top five courtesy of tries from Chris Whitehead, Haydn Thomas and Phil Dollman; whilst fly-half Gareth Steenson weighed in with the remainder of the Devon side’s points. For Wasps, it meant yet more misery for Londoners on Devon soil – they have now lost all three previous encounters at Sandy Park – and all they could muster was a losing bonus point courtesy of Tommy Bell’s late penalty. Fresh from their first...

Chiefs name side to face Wasps at Sandy Park

Exeter Chiefs put their unbeaten home record in the Aviva Premiership on the line tomorrow when they play host to London Wasps in the day's late kick-off (5.30pm).

Having seen off Sale Sharks, Saracens, Harlequins and Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park this term, Exeter's assistant coach Ali Hepher wants his side to at least replicate those displays against a much-improved Wasps line-up.

Whereas last season's Dai Young's side spent much of the campaign fighting relegation with Newcastle Falcons, this time round the Wycombe-based outfit appear to be much improved and last...

Mumm says Chiefs are in for 'one hell of a match'

Dean Mumm insists Exeter Chiefs can expect a formidable test when they welcome London Wasps to Devon this Saturday in the Aviva Premiership (5.30pm).

Like many at Sandy Park, the experienced Australian international clearly noted the display put in by Dai Young's side a week ago as they overcame Leicester Tigers 14-12 to record their fourth top flight win of the season.

The same day, however, the Chiefs were also in winning form as they recorded their first Premiership away scalp of the 2012/13 season with a maiden 27-23 success at London Irish.

It was a victory...

City players and Supporters Trust a winning team

Exeter City’s Supporters’ Trust is buoyed by the news that members of the club’s First Team squad have given their backing to the latest Trust Recruitment Campaign, by becoming members of the Trust, writes Martin Lawrence.

Joining the rank and file Trust membership is Club Captain Danny Coles, who was eager to lead by example by supporting the Trust’s Recruitment Campaign. Coles joins the Trust just days after City Manager Paul Tisdale launched the latest recruitment drive by renewing his own Trust membership.

Braves take the sting out of Wasps with 49-7 victory

Exeter Braves wrapped up their Aviva Premiership A League campaign with a convincing 49-7 victory over London Wasps at Henley.

The reigning champions were in ruthlesss mood up in Oxfordshire as they ran in seven tries in another polished performance.

Youngsters Justin Blanchet, Sam Simmonds and Will Carrick-Smith (pictured) all crossed for a brace of tries, whilst there was a further touchdown for Chris Budgen. Fly-half Henry Slade weighed in with a further 12 points to complete a hugely satisfying night for the visitors.

In reply, Wasps claimed a first half try...

Some good news at last - Chiefs win against Irish

It wasn’t pretty, in fact it was downright ugly at times, but Exeter Chiefs have finally put to bed their Madejski monkey, writes Mark Stevens.

Having come unstuck on two previous visits to the impressive Reading venue, Rob Baxter’s men dug deep to not only see off hosts London Irish in a keenly contested affair, but at the same time the victory ensured they were also able to claim their first win on the road in this season’s Aviva Premiership.

In a stunning opening to the contest, the Devon visitors led 21-3 thanks to tries from Luke Arscott and Phil Dollman, plus the boot...
