f you wanted a measure of just how far Exeter Chiefs have come in the past year, then this display from the reigning Aviva Premiership champions could not have painted a better picture.
Cast your mind back to October 2016 - the last time Exeter Chiefs played host to Bath - and it was the visitors who emerged from a titanic tussle victors thanks to a last-gasp score from Semesa Rokoduguni.
Fast forward to modern day and the difference between these two Westcountry rivals was like ‘Night & Day’. For an hour at least, everything Rob Baxter's side did was near perfection,...
It’s a result that still irks one or two at Sandy Park, but it was to prove a pivotal moment in Exeter’s title-winning campaign last season.
Having controlled large parts of their home encounter with Bath last October, the Chiefs were subsequently floored by a crafty sucker punch from their Westcountry rivals, when Fijian flyer Semesa Rokoduguni strolled over for a winning try deep into added on time.
It was a bitter pill to swallow for Rob Baxter’s side in the immediate aftermath. However, it would be the last time he and his side would taste defeat on home soil in the...
On Monday 27th November, Premiership Rugby star and Ex QE Student, Jack Yeandle came back to Queen Elizabeth’s School in Crediton to deliver a Rugby Masterclass.
As part of QE’s afterschool Rugby Club, Jack led the session with QE’s Rugby stars of the future. Jack also reminisced about the start of his Rugby playing career representing QE. Students found it fascinating to hear him speak of the last game that he played for the school, on the Barnfield pitch against Torrington school, as a Full back rather than his current position as a hooker!
Just as Sandy Park remains a fortress for the Exeter Chiefs, so Allianz Park is regarded as just the same for European champions Saracens.
Undefeated on their own patch for 21 months, it took a monumental effort from Rob Baxter’s side to emerge victorious from this brutal Aviva Premiership contest with a priceless four points.
The victory, Exeter’s seventh of the campaign, not only ensured the reigning English champions remain top of the pile after nine rounds but, more importantly, they are now five points ahead of Mark McCall’s side, who are next best in the standings on...
Reigning champions Exeter Chiefs reclaimed pole position in this season's Aviva Premiership by seeing off visiting Harlequins at Sandy Park.
Far from their best showing of the season, Rob Baxter's side did more than enough to collect all five points and send the Londoners back to the capital with scant reward for their workmanlike efforts in the Westcountry.
Wingers Lachie Turner and Olly Woodburn collected a try apiece for the Devonians, while lock Jonny Hill ensured the bonus point by dotting down twice in the second period as the Chiefs collected their sixth success of...
Exeter Chiefs Director of Rugby Rob Baxter says his side will need to make the most of home advantage during a crucial block of Aviva Premiership fixtures over the next month.
After seven rounds of action so far, the defending champions are positioned second in the standings, two points adrift of leaders Saracens and five clear of next best Leicester Tigers.
In Europe and in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, Devon’s finest have also made unbeaten starts in those competitions, but it’s the bread and butter of the league which is utmost in the thoughts of Baxter ahead of Sunday’s home...
