Halloween might not be until the end of the month, but defending Heineken Cup champions Leinster were given one almighty fright by visiting Exeter Chiefs at the RDS.

Strutting their stuff in European Rugby's premier competition for the first time in the club's history, the Chiefs came within a whisker of grabbing at least a share of the spoils against their star-studded Irish hosts.

With the clock having run dry in the Irish capital, Argentinian ace Ignacio Mieres had the opportunity to put his name in Exeter folklore when he was afforded a last-gasp penalty chance....

City's poor recent run of results continued as they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of a clinical Northampton Town side at Sixfields this afternoon, writes Andrew Morris.

Northampton's powerful and direct approach triumphed over City's short passing game in a match littered with niggly fouls and yellow cards.

Positives for City were the valuable game time secured by Bennett, Gow and Sercombe. Fans will be hoping that all three are in contention for the visit of Chesterfield next Saturday where Tisdale's side will be searching for an improvement on today's...

Paul Tisdale’s preparations for Saturday’s trip to Northampton (3pm) were given a boost this week as Scot Bennett returned to training with the first team squad.

When the midfielder was stretchered off against Bristol Rovers 13 days ago fans and management feared the worst but scans showed just heavy bruising – much to the delight of Tisdale who told the local press that Bennett could return to action at Sixfields.

“He is back training and Scot has been told that there is no serious damage and he can go back through the pain he has,” he said. “It is a case of him pushing...

On Saturday the Exeter Chiefs adventure begins in earnest with a trip across the Irish Sea to face the competition's reigning champions, Leinster,...
