This wasn’t the vintage, high-octane rugby we’ve seen at other times this season from Exeter Chiefs, but nevertheless the five precious points Rob Baxter’s side picked up were celebrated just as much, if not better.
Devon’s finest ground out their 11th league win of the season against a gutsy Newcastle Falcons outfit who, for at least an hour at Sandy Park, matched their higher-placed rivals toe-to-toe.
In the end, the Chiefs had just too much in their attacking arsenal for Dean Richards’ side and netted another maximum haul courtesy of Elvis Taione’s late score.
EXETER CITY were pegged-back twice by Carlisle United during an eventful 2-2 draw at St James Park.
Loanee striker Jayden Stockley had given City an early lead in the seventh minute, before the Grecians’ early momentum was disrupted as a fire-scare in the Stagecoach Stand saw the game suspended for just over an hour. Charlie Wyke then levelled for the Cumbrians just after the half-hour mark, before David Wheeler’s goal with eleven minutes remaining was cancelled out by Hallam Hope.
City were unchanged from the side that beat Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium last...

However, the 22-year-old playmaker has worked tirelessly to return to full fitness and Baxter has wasted little time in recalling the Plymouth-born back to his starting line-up. Slade is one of seven changes the Chiefs have made to their side that went...

Geoff Parling knows what it takes to be a winner, particularly in the Aviva Premiership, and today he will be helping lead the charge as Exeter Chiefs aim to maintain their lofty status against Newcastle Falcons at Sandy Park (3pm).
Heading into Round 16 of the competition, the Devon club are sitting pretty in second place, just three behind leaders Saracens and five ahead of Leicester Tigers in third.
However, the 32-year-old forward knows this is the ‘business end’ of the season and results are even more important as club jockey for key positions at the end of the season...
New figures show that men can expect to spend a higher proportion of their lives in “good” health than women.
Males at birth in England could expect to spend 80% of their remaining lives in “good” health, compared with females 77%.
The report, from the Office for National Statistics, also found that healthy life expectancy for men and women did not keep pace with increasing life expectancy, meaning people are spending longer in “not good” health.
The statistics also found large inequalities of healthy life expectancy between local authorities.
