Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter admitted he took a "great deal of pride" from his side's showing as they completed a league double over reigning Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins. Baxter watched on intently as his team battled back from conceding a converted Ugo Monye try early on to record a 27-16 victory at the Twickenham Stoop. Fly-half Gareth Steenson was the chief tormentor for the home side as not only did he help himself to an excellent 17-point haul with the boot, but his impressive on-field display also helped him create second half tries for Damian Welch and Luke Arscott...
Irishman Gareth Steenson was singled out for praise by Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter after he produced a man-of-the-match display to help his side to a 27-16 victory at Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins. The 28-year-old fly-half was chief tormentor for the Devon club at the Twickenham Stoop as his 17-point haul went alongside second half touchdowns from Damian Welch and Luke Arscott. Exeter’s victory, their second in as many weeks, not only ensured they maintained their hopes of being amongst the division’s top six, but also enabled them to claim a league double over Conor O’...
Exeter Chiefs handed out their own spot of capital punishment as they became the first team this season to record a league double over reigning Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins. Having humbled Conor O’Shea’s side 42-28 at Sandy Park back in October, the Chiefs repeated the feat at the Twickenham Stoop thanks in the main to an inspired display from fly-half Gareth Steenson. The Ulsterman was simply scintillating all afternoon, spearheading a Chiefs game plan that their rivals simply could not contain. Not only did he plunder 17 crucial points with the boot, but he was involved in much...
Three members of the Exeter Chiefs took on the challenge to bake and decorate 1,000 cup cakes to show their support for Red Nose Day 2013, and inspire everyone to get out the cake mix to raise money.
Today (Thursday Feb 28) prop Carl Rimmer and hookers Jack Yeandle and Chris Whitehead rose to the occasion and made more than a half-baked attempt at cooking Red Nose Day inspired cupcakes to encourage the people of Exeter to raise funds with their own baking skills on Friday 15 March.
And after a morning’s baking with Exeter College catering students, including Emma Wakeley,...
Exeter Chiefs back Mark Foster has joined Championship outfit Jersey on loan until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old is one of two new captures – alongside Mark McCrea from Irish side Connacht – which the Channel Islands club have confirmed as they look to preserve their status in English rugby’s second tier following promotion last term.
Foster, who made his debut for the Chiefs against Moseley in September 2009, has played 59 times in total for the Devon club, scoring 20 tries in the process.
Two of those tries came in Exeter’s first-ever Aviva Premiership...
Jack Yeandle admitted some tough internal talking helped to get the Exeter Chiefs back to winning ways with victory over London Welsh in the Aviva Premiership on Saturday.
Without a win in their five previous top flight fixtures, the Chiefs responded in fine fashion as they ran in five tries during a dominant 47-16 display against the Exiles at Sandy Park.
Making his first Premiership start for the Devon club since his switch from Championships side Doncaster Knights last summer, Yeandle helped play a key role in that success story as he claimed Exeter's opening try when he...
Exeter Chiefs returned to winning ways in the Aviva Premiership by turning in a stellar five-star display against visiting London Welsh at Sandy Park.
Hurting following a five-game winless streak, Rob Baxter’s side responded in the best possible fashion as they posted their biggest-ever total in the top flight against the Exiles.
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter hopes a return to home surroundings will provide the perfect pick-me-up to get his ailing side back on track in the Aviva Premiership.
With just one league defeat at Sandy Park this season - that came against Northampton Saints back in early January - the Chiefs welcome Premiership newcomers to London Welsh to Devon tomorrow (3pm).
Like the Chiefs, the visitors have also been experiencing some tough times of late and last weekend's narrow home defeat to Sale Sharks has pulled Lyn Jones' team into the division's relegation fight.
When the ‘Fat Lady’ or should that be ‘Fat Bloke’ sang with a minute to go, that – I suppose – summed up the ‘Saracens Show’ (Saracens 31 : Chiefs 11).
