Matt Kvesic says he is “excited” about what lies ahead after he this week agreed to join the Exeter Chiefs on a three-year deal.
The England international is Rob Baxter’s first capture ahead of next season and joins from Aviva Premiership rivals Gloucester.
A destructive force in English rugby’s top flight for a number of years, the 24-year-old’s arrival at Sandy Park will be seen as shrewd bit of business by Baxter, who has tracked the player for a number of years.
Having initially started his senior career at Worcester Warriors in 2009, Kvesic spent four years at...
Exeter Chiefs extended their unbeaten run in the Aviva Premiership to six games after they shared the spoils with reigning champions Saracens at a packed out Allianz Park.
Rob Baxter’s side bossed the opening 40 minutes to lead 10-3 at the break thanks to a Gareth Steenson penalty and a converted try from Jack Nowell, but it was the Londoners – who lost prop Richard Barrington to a red card after 15 minutes – who proved the stronger in the second period.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Sarries dug deep into their reserves...
Two Exeter Chiefs fans who rescued a woman from the River Avon while celebrating the New Year in Bath are to be commended with a bravery award.
Mark Burdis and Lisa Haynes are to receive the Royal Humane Society Award after coming to the woman's aid at around 1am on New Year's Day.
The couple, from Torquay, had travelled to Bath to watch Exeter Chiefs' win over Bath in the rugby before spending the evening in the city for the New Year celebrations.
They were walking along the towpath back to their hotel when they came across a woman struggling in the water.
Exeter Chiefs may have left it late to sink rivals Bath last weekend, but head coach Rob Baxter is calling for a fast start from his team ahead of tomorrow’s Aviva Premiership clash with Saracens at a sold out Allianz Park (3pm).
Back-to-back victories over the festive period have helped to lift the Devonians to third in the standings at the halfway point, but it’s this weekend’s tussle with the reigning English and European champions that should prove the ‘acid test’ of how far the Chiefs have come in recent weeks.
Last season Sarries got the better of Baxter’s men on...
The wining partnership between Exeter Chiefs and Exeter College has been celebrated, after Exeter College’s U18 team recently won the AASE League for the first time.

The outstanding victory comes after the launch of the Exeter Chiefs Rugby Academy at Exeter College in 2016. The partnership between Exeter Chiefs and Exeter College provides aspiring rugby players the chance to nurture not only their rugby talent, but also to gain first-class education and training with the Aviva...
Luke Cowan-Dickie hailed Exeter Chiefs’ fighting spirit after they emerged with a dramatic New Year’s Eve victory at Bath.
Trailing 11-0 following a disappointing first half at the Recreation Ground, Rob Baxter’s side were much improved during the second period, initially reducing the deficit with a Gareth Steenson penalty, before two late converted tries from James Short sealed a first-ever league win in the Roman City for the Devon club.
The victory not only maintained Exeter’s impressive run of form in the Aviva Premiership, but also allowed them to leapfrog their hosts...
In a year packed full of sparkle, Exeter Chiefs perhaps saved their shining moment for the final day of 2016.
Seemingly down and out in a full-blooded Westcountry derby with rivals Bath, two late tries from James Short enabled Rob Baxter’s side to celebrate a first-ever victory in the ancient Roman City.
Sure, Devon’s finest had triumphed at the Rec in the old LV= Cup, but never before had they had they won when it came to league matters. This was the perfect way to start the New Year’s Eve party.
Bossed for the opening hour of this match, the Chiefs trailed 11-0 at...
Exeter Chiefs delivered the perfect Christmas present to their Tribe of supporters as they leapfrogged Leicester Tigers into fourth place with victory at Sandy Park.
Rob Baxter’s side notched up their fourth Aviva Premiership win on the bounce, courtesy of a dominant first half display that yielded tries for Jack Yeandle and Thomas Waldrom, along with a Penalty Try, which was also converted by skipper Gareth Steenson.
The Irishman added to his tally early in the second half with a penalty, before rounding off another impressive display with the boot by converting Ollie...
