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...

Exeter Chiefs made it back-to-back victories in this season’s Anglo-Welsh Cup, brushing aside the attentions of the Scarlets on their own patch.
For 40 minutes at least, the Welsh region went toe-to-toe with their English counterparts. After that, brute force took hold and with it came a flurry of points for Ricky Pellow’s side.
Shaun Malton, James Freeman and Tom Hendrickson all claimed tries for the visitors, but it was up front where they ruled the roost, inflicting a further three penalty tries on the Scarlets, who were physically no match for the Devonians in the set-...
Ricky Pellow believes a bit of fine tuning to the Exeter defensive plan this week means the Chiefs will travel to rivals Scarlets in buoyant mood ahead of Sunday’s clash at the Parc Y Scarlets (3pm).
Last season’s beaten finalists kicked off their Anglo-Welsh Cup campaign in fine fashion a week ago, dispatching Premiership counterparts Northampton Saints 43-28 in a seven-try success on home soil.
Although delighted with the way his side went about their business in attack, skills coach Pellow was somewhat critical of his players in the way they allowed the Saints to hit...
Exeter Chiefs put in a sparkling display to kick-off their Anglo-Welsh Cup campaign with a bang.
Ricky Pellow's side were all fired up on their way to a seven-try success against visiting Northampton Saints in this Round One opener at Sandy Park.
Summer signings Toby Salmon (2), James Freeman and Tom O'Flaherty were all on the mark for Devon's finest, as were James Short, Alec Hepburn and Elvis Taione.
Fly-half Joe Simmonds completed the job by converting four of the scores to give the Chiefs the perfect start to this season's tournament.
With just a week to go until the third Exeter Foundation evening with Michael Caines MBE, the menu and accompanying wine has been confirmed.
The menu, which has been devised by Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines MBE and Sandy Park’s Head Chef Sam Billson, includes luxury canapes, followed by a decadent five-course menu and petit fours and coffee to finish.
Ingredients have been sourced locally, including chicken from Darts Farm, vegetables from Dart Fresh and a selection of South West cheeses. The complementary wine has been specially selected to match each course by...
Ricky Pellow insists it will be healthy mix of ‘youth and experience’ that will lead Exeter Chiefs into battle ahead of tomorrow’s Anglo-Welsh Cup opener against Northampton Saints at Sandy Park (3pm).
With Premiership and European matters put on the back burner for the next fortnight, Devon’s finest will now be looking to continue their rich vein of form on a third front against the visiting Midlanders.
In a competition which has served the Chiefs well over the years - Exeter have played in the last three Cup finals, including defeating the Saints in 2014 to lift the...
