Exeter Chiefs chairman Tony Rowe OBE says it's testament to the 'fantastic backing' the club receive from its loyal supporters that season ticket sales have risen again ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

Ahead of what will be the Devon club's ninth year in the Gallagher Premiership, the Chiefs have recorded a 11% increase in season ticket sales compared to last season.

As well as the excitement of the upcoming top-flight season, plus another hugely impressive season last term - one which included reaching a third successive Premiership Final and also capturing the Anglo-Welsh...

Harry Williams insists Exeter Chiefs can ill afford to dwell on the disappointment of defeat in May’s Premiership Final against Saracens.

Instead, the England international believes he and his team-mates must instead use that loss as ‘fuel to the fire’ as the Devon club look ahead to the new 2018/19 campaign.

The new season kicks-off in less than a month on September 1 against Leicester Tigers at Sandy Park and the 26-year-old is aiming to be part and parcel of Rob Baxter’s mix as they look to wrestle back their title crown from the Londoners.

“Last season has been...

Baxter reacts to European Champions Cup draw

Rob Baxter says he and his Exeter Chiefs squad should relish what is another ‘exciting’ Heineken Champions Cup pool for the upcoming season.

The Chiefs have been named in Pool Two of the 2018/19 competition, lining up alongside reigning Top14 champions Castres Olympique, Irish giant Munster and Premiership rivals Gloucester.

For the Chiefs, both Castres and Munster are new opponents, having never faced either in competitive action before. The latter, however, do provide a pre-season test for Baxter’s side when they lock horns in Cork on Friday, August 24.

Ranked as...

Low signs new Chiefs deal

Moray Low says he’s ‘excited’ about the year ahead after agreeing terms on a new one-year contract with the Exeter Chiefs.

The Scottish international will take his stay at Sandy Park into a fifth year, having moving to the Premiership outfit from former club Glasgow Warriors in 2014.

Part and parcel of Rob Baxter’s squad ever since, the 33-year-old prop underlined his proven qualities last season by producing a man-of-the-match display in the club’s Anglo-Welsh Cup final victory over Bath at Kingsholm.

Since making his debut in the away win at London Welsh In...

Rob Baxter refused to be too downbeat despite seeing his Exeter Chiefs side surrender their grip on the Aviva Premiership to rivals Saracens at Twickenham.

Hopes of replicating their success of 12 months ago were ended as the Londoners reclaimed English Rugby’s prized crown by securing a 27-10 victory, thanks in the main to tries from Billy Vunipola, Chris Wyles (2) and Nathan Earle.

The Chiefs fired the odd shot through a Joe Simmonds penalty and a converted Gareth Steenson try, but that was all they could muster on an afternoon when they were distinctly second best for...
