After the heartbreak of a last-gasp defeat to local rivals Bristol Rovers last weekend, it’s back on the horse for City this week and a home fixture against Morecambe.
The Shrimps arrive in Devon on a bit of a dry run themselves.
A 1-1 draw at home against Wycombe Wanderers last weekend took them to four games without a victory on the bounce for the first time this season, and similarly to City there is an air of importance in trying to get back into the play-off places that they occupied in the early months.
Part of that good patch that the Shrimps had early in the...
Prop Carl Rimmer believes Exeter Chiefs will face a much different animal when they tackle Cardiff Blues in their final Heineken Cup game of the season at the Arms Park tomorrow (3.40pm).
Having produced arguably their best half of rugby this season against the Welsh region back in October when they won 44-29, the Chiefs head to the Welsh capital this weekend not only looking to finish their European campaign on a high, but also aiming to rediscover their winning formula.
Eight defeats in nine games is hardly the statistic Rob Baxter would want attached to his side, but...

Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to wrap up their Heineken Cup campaign in style when they travel to Cardiff Blues in tomorrow's final Pool Two fixture at the Arms Park (3.40pm). With European qualification hopes of any kind all but extinguished with last weekend's 15-10 home loss against Glasgow Warriors, the Chiefs are still determined to prove their worth in European Rugby's top cup competition and record a notable double over the star-studded Blues. At Sandy Park in October, Baxter's men produced a devastating first 40 minutes to blow aside the Welsh region. Not only was the all...
Having been given his first-ever taste of Heineken Cup action last weekend, Luke Cowan-Dickie is hoping for more European exposure on Saturday when the Exeter Chiefs tackle Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park (3.40pm).
The young Cornishman featured for just over an hour during the narrow 15-10 defeat against visiting Glasgow Warriors and impressed many with his on-field display.
Back on the pitch following a season which has been hampered by a knee injury sustained in the pre-season friendly at Scarlets back in August, the talented 20-year-old says he is clearly keen to make up...

Since then, these incredibly popular teens have remained great friends and are both relishing the idea of doing a show together for their thousands of fans.
The gig will be a fantastic opportunity for the artists’ fans to see the boys perform together with the...
