Cooper joins Chiefs on loan

Exeter Chiefs have moved to strengthen their options at hooker by agreeing a loan move for Newcastle Falcons forward Kyle Cooper.

With club captain Jack Yeandle sidelined with a broken arm, plus fellow No.2 Jack Innard also out following shoulder surgery, Director of Rugby, Rob Baxter, has wasted little time in addressing the issue by bringing in the 30-year-old South African until the end of March.

Signed in the summer of 2016 from Super Rugby side the Sharks, Cooper’s arrival will also help supplement any potential call-ups or rest period for England international Luke...

Chiefs side to face Wasps

Rob Baxter believes his Exeter Chiefs owe the Sandy Park faithful a performance, given their last outing in the Gallagher Premiership against Bristol Bears ended in disappointment.

Back-to-back victories in the Heineken Champions Cup against La Rochelle and Glasgow Warriors have given the Devonians the dream start to their latest European campaign, but it’s domestic matters which take centre stage for Baxter and his squad this week.

Tomorrow, they welcome old adversaries Wasps to Devon looking to build on those successes, whilst at the same time looking to return to winning...

Bray Wyatt introduces new WWE Universal Championship

The biggest match at the Crown Jewel PPV was undoubtedly the championship match between Seth Rollins and "The Fiend". The match resulted in a surprising outcome that turned tables for the blue WWE brand. As "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt won the title from Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel a couple of weeks ago, it was for the first time in its history that the WWE universal championship was being represented and defended at the company's blue brand.

After the transfer of the title to WWE SmackDown , fans began to speculate a new Universal Championship Belt. During the time when the Universal...

A second-half strike from Dean Moxey was all that separated the two sides at The People’s Pension Stadium as Exeter City overcame Crawley Town 1-0 on Saturday.

Exeter City manager Matt Taylor made three changes to the side that overcame Cambridge United in the FA Cup on Tuesday night, with Nigel Atangana, Jack Sparkes and Ryan Bowman starting in place of Alex Fisher, Craig Woodman and Matt Jay.

City started brightly, and Lee Martin did well to create a yard of space after just two minutes in order to find a cross that was headed away by Crawley centre-back Tom Dallison just...

Dartmoor Hillies race to glory at Exeter

Think of Dartmoor and you’ll probably conjure up an image of a pony, grazing peacefully among the granite rocks and tall Melina grasses. But these hardy Hill Ponies, a breed in their own right, are far more than perfect for pictures, and on Sunday eight of them who were bred out in the wilds will demonstrate their versatility at Exeter Racecourse when they kick off the eight race card with their very own race.

Among the runners are Moscow Mule, Chase Me Charlie and Rodney Trotter and they, together with five friends, will be galloping down the home straight. And their antics will...
