Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after it was confirmed that he will form part of England's coaching team for their summer's tour to Argentina. The Exeter Chiefs head coach, along with Saracens defence and forwards coach Paul Gustard, will form part of the coaching team assembled by England head coach Stuart Lancaster for the trip to South America in June. Subject to Aviva Premiership placings, Tavistock-born Baxter will link up with Lancaster and attacking skills coach Mike Catt to prepare for the Killik Cup against the Barbarians at Twickenham on May 26, while Gustard will be...
Returning prop Brett Sturgess still believes that Exeter Chiefs’ Heineken Cup dream is still alive despite their narrow defeat against Leicester Tigers at the weekend.
The boot of England international Toby Flood kicked the Tigers to a narrow 12-9 victory at a packed Sandy Park, but Kettering-born Sturgess insists the mood within the camp remains buoyant despite the latest reverse.
The Chiefs currently lie in eighth place in the Aviva Premiership standings, but are just five points adrift of the crucial sixth spot which brings about qualification for next season’s Heineken...
Seven days previous, Toby Flood left Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium licking his wounds as he and his fellow England colleagues saw their Six Nations dream end in tatters to a rampant Welsh side.
However, present day and the Leicester Tigers No.10 was back smiling again as his 12-point haul – courtesy of four penalties – helped the East Midlanders claim victory in a hard fought Aviva Premiership encounter at Exeter Chiefs.
Having exchanged three penalties with opposite number Gareth Steenson in the first period at Sandy Park, the 27-year-old landed a telling blow just ten...
Exeter Chiefs will face Leicester Tigers tomorrow at 5pm in a sold-out match at Sandy Park.
Head coach Rob Baxter expects his side to fight "tooth and nail" in their bid to get among the front-runners in this season's Aviva Premiership. Back to back wins over London Welsh and reigning champions Harlequins have propelled the Chiefs back up the table ahead of tomorrow's visit.
Baxter wants his team to build on those two successes against English rugby's most successful club side, who will be looking to complete a league double over their Devon hosts and maintain their play-...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter insists his squad for next season is taking shape nicely after another three more players committed their futures to the Devon club. Prop Alex Brown has agreed a new two-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club, whilst fellow forwards Dave Ewers and Tom Cowan-Dickie have each penned terms on new one-year deals. The news is yet another boost to Baxter, who has made no secret of his desire to hold on to the club's crop of young stock. "We like to reward guys that take opportunities and who do well for us and these three guys are all in that category,"...
Departing England Under-20s Head Coach Rob Hunter paid tribute to his team after they were crowed Six Nations champions for an unprecedented third time in a row after an impressive 28-15 win away in Wales at Eirias Park.
Hunter, who is set to join the Exeter Chiefs coaching staff next month on a full-time basis, could not hide his delight as his young guns produced an impressive display in Colwyn Bay.
He said: “It’s a massive achievement and the guys deserve all the credit – they’re a hard working group and this trophy is their reward for the work that they have put in....
Welshman Ceri Sweeney admits he is "excited" by the challenge that awaits him having agreed to join Aviva Premiership club Exeter Chiefs on a one-year deal. The 33-year-old fly-half becomes the second Cardiff Blues back - following club-mate and fellow Welsh international Tom James - in swapping life in the Principality for that of Sandy Park. Vastly experienced and with 35 international caps to his name, Sweeney will join the Chiefs having spent the past five years in the Welsh capital with the Blues, where he has scored 324 points in 109 appearances - and before that four seasons with...
Damian Welch believes the Exeter Chiefs are making significant steps in the right direction after recording back-to-back Aviva Premiership victories.
The imposing lock, who was signed last summer from the Scarlets, claimed his maiden score for the club in the recent 47-16 home win over London Welsh - and then followed suit last Saturday as he claimed Exeter's opening try in their 27-16 win away to reigning champions Harlequins.
Now, Welch is hoping the Devon club can maintain their improvement in form when they welcome third-placed Leicester Tigers to Sandy Park later this...
The Exeter Chiefs squad maybe taking a few well-earned days off following back-to-back wins over London Welsh and Harlequins, but Gareth Steenson insists it will be back to business again next week.
The Irishman produced a stellar showing in Saturday's 27-16 away win at reigning Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins, landing 17 points with the boot, as well as playing his part in Exeter's two tries scored by Damian Welch and Luke Arscott.
It was a victory that not only saw the Devon club claim a league double over the Londoners, but put the Chiefs firmly back in the mix...
There is still time to vote for Exeter Chiefs supporters to register their support for Jack Nowell to win this season’s LV= Breakthrough Player Award.
The talented Cornishman is one of 10 players who are currently battling it out to win the accolade following some notable displays in this season’s competition.
Equally at home at full-back or on the wing, 19-year-old Nowell has constantly been a blight on opposition defences this season and was regarded as the top player in round four as his side saw off a strong Northampton Saints.
