Cordero signs new Chiefs deal

Santiago Cordero says he is “excited” about what lies ahead for him at Sandy Park after he today agreed terms on a new one-year deal with the Exeter Chiefs.

The Argentinian international arrived in Devon back in January on a short-term contract until the end of the season.

However, the 24-year-old’s impressive form, both in matches and in training, has done enough to convince Chiefs’ Director of Rugby Rob Baxter to extend his stay.

Although he has yet to score his first points for the current English champions, Cordero helped his new club to lift the Anglo-Welsh Cup...

Chiefs side to face Harlequins

Ali Hepher has dismissed talk that Exeter Chiefs will be coasting their way through tomorrow's (Saturday) final round of the Aviva Premiership away to Harlequins at The Stoop (4pm). Having already secured top spot and a home semi-final following their exertions already this season, some observers have muttered that the defending champions may well take the opportunity to rest up and relax ahead of their last four encounter against either Newcastle Falcons or Wasps on May 19. That notion, however, was quickly dispelled by Head Coach Hepher at this week's media briefing, where he in fact...

Chiefs 34 Sharks 19

As the final prep is made to Harry and Meghan’s big day on May 19, so the planning is already being put in place for Exeter’s showpiece occasion on the same day.

The Chiefs already knew they had home advantage for next month’s semi-final showdown at Sandy Park, but they helped rubber-stamp their authority in the Aviva Premiership by collecting a maximum haul against visiting Sale Sharks.

Tries from Nic White White, Lachie Turner, Jack Yeandle and Greg Holmes were the highlights of another decent display from Rob Baxter’s side, whose latest victory on home turf ensured they...

Sale will provide Chiefs with the 'perfect test' says Hepher

Ali Hepher believes his Exeter Chiefs side face the ‘perfect test’ when Sale Sharks provide the opposition at a packed-out Sandy Park tomorrow (3pm). With just two rounds of the scheduled Aviva Premiership season remaining, the defending champions already know they will have home advantage when the play-offs kick into action midway through next month. However, the chance to top the table – for the first time – after 22 rounds, plus the intense battle for a place within the first team ranks means the Chiefs are fully focused on the task ahead. The Sharks, meanwhile, will arrived in Devon...

Jack Nowell says he's aiming to make up for lost time by helping to play a lead role in Exeter's Aviva Premiership title defence.

The Chiefs, England and British Lions winger marked his return to competitive action for the first time in six weeks when he scored a second half brace in last Sunday's 46-10 victory over Gloucester at Sandy Park.

That win - Exeter's 14th in 19 league starts this term - ensured Rob Baxter's side became the first team this season to ensure their place in next month's end of season play-offs, even though there are still three rounds of the regular...

Exeter Chiefs 46 Gloucester 10

Watching England head coach Eddie Jones was given plenty to ponder as he watched defending Aviva Premiership champions Exeter Chiefs seal their place in this season’s play-offs with an emphatic six-try victory over visiting Gloucester.

With a glut of Red Rose talent to peruse on the lush Sandy Park turf, Devon’s finest served up a sumptuous Sunday treat to maintain their position at the summit of the table.

First half tries from international duo Alec Hepburn and Sam Simmonds, plus another from Olly Woodburn, paved the foundations for the victory, which was sealed with a...

Chiefs side to face Gloucester

Ali Hepher says the time has come for Exeter Chiefs to "get the hammer down" and propel themselves ever closer to the Aviva Premiership play-offs.

With just four rounds of the regular season remaining, the defending champions currently sit top of the pile, eight points clear of next best Saracens, and ten clear of third-place Wasps.

It's a perfect position for Devon's finest to find themselves in, but head coach Hepher acknowledges the Chiefs must look to strengthen their grip on proceedings, starting with Sunday's clash against Gloucester at a packed out Sandy Park (3pm...

Bath 11 Exeter Chiefs 28

The Brasso will be out again this week at Sandy Park as Exeter Chiefs added yet more silverware to the club’s trophy cabinet with victory over Bath in the Anglo-Welsh Cup.

Having won the competition in 2014 for the first time against Northampton Saints, it’s taken until now for the Chiefs to repeat the feat, even though they have been in all of the subsequent finals.

At Kingsholm, though, there was to be no denying Ricky Pellow’s side as they dominated from start to finish.Hooker Jack Innard helped himself to a first half double, Toby Salmon got another, while 13 points...
