London’s Calling for Exeter Chiefs after they booked themselves a first-ever appearance in the Aviva Premiership final.
Just six years after joining English rugby’s elite, Rob Baxter’s side are now just 80 minutes away from landing the biggest prize in the club’s history.
Standing in the way of history will be Saracens, the reigning European champions and the defending Premiership Kings, who themselves saw off the challenge of Leicester Tigers in the day’s other last four encounter.
The Chiefs, however, will head into the contest brimming with confidence having swot...
Exeter Chiefs may find themselves in unchartered waters when it comes to the Aviva Premiership play-offs, but head coach Rob Baxter wants his team to make the most of the opportunity afforded to them this weekend. Having finished the scheduled English season in second spot, accruing 15 wins from 22 games, the Chiefs have home advantage for tomorrow’s visit of Wasps to a packed out Sandy Park (3:15pm). It will mark the fourth meeting of the season between the two clubs, but it’s arguably the biggest yet with the prize on offer a trip to Twickenham a week later in the showpiece event of the...
Athletes, coaches and volunteers from across Devon were celebrated at Sandy Park at the Exeter Foundation annual Devon Sports Awards in association with Active Devon and in partnership with Exeter College.
The Awards were hosted by BBC Spotlight’s Jenny Walrond, and featured guest speaker Colin Jackson CBE, who inspired the audience with anecdotes of his career since retirement.
The main prize of the evening, the Exeter Foundation award for Outstanding Contribution to Sport in Devon, went to Exe Hockey Club’s Jill Dupain, who also picked up the Volunteer of the Year award...
Exeter Chiefs can confirm that next week's Aviva Premiership Play-Off semi-final against Wasps is now a complete sell-out.
The few remaining tickets left after a busy few days of trading at Sandy Park were sold this morning and a means a capacity crowd of 12,600 will pack into the stadium for the fixture, which takes place on Saturday, May 21st (3:15pm).
Supporters who were unfortunate enough not to secure a ticket during the initial selling period are advised to look online, via the official website on Monday, May 16 (from 12.30pm), for any potential returns that may be...
The age old debate of whether rugby or football is the superior sport came to a head on Wednesday 4th May when players from the Exeter Chiefs and Exeter City FC battled it out… in a cook-off!
In celebration of the opening of The Room Works, a brand new kitchen and bathroom showroom based on Alphinbrook Road, Exeter, players were pitted against each other to make a starter, main course and dessert under the watchful eye of Austin Gosling, Head Chef at On the Rocks restaurant in Torquay.
It ended in a draw, but not before some fiercely fought one to one battles took place....
Hat-trick hero Jack Nowell says Exeter Chiefs cannot afford to let their standards slip as the quest for glory in this season's Aviva Premiership cranks up another notch. The Cornishman was in devastating form on Saturday, helping himself to three of Exeter's ten tries in their 62-24 demolition of Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop. That success not only ensured Rob Baxter's side ended the scheduled top flight season on a significant high, but it guaranteed the Chiefs second spot in the table and a home semi-final against Wasps in the end of season play-offs. England international Nowell...
This was capital punishment in it’s harshest form.
Rob Baxter’s side handed out arguably one of their finest displays in the Aviva Premiership to book themselves a first-ever semi-final in the end of season play-offs.
England star Jack Nowell led the way in a ten-try hammering of Harlequins, who were looking to give departing Director of Rugby, Conor O’Shea, the perfect send off before he heads for pastures new.
Instead, the Irishman could only watch on as Devon’s finest ran amok at the Twickenham Stoop. Nowell was crowned man...
Gareth Steenson admitted he was ‘lost for words’ after he was crowned Exeter Chiefs’ Player of the Year at their annual awards night.
In front of almost 600 people at the club’s Sandy Park Stadium, the Irish fly-half landed the highly sought after prize from his peers, beating off stiff competition from team-mates Don Armand and Will Chudley.
Steenson has enjoyed another stellar season in Exeter colours, not only topping the point-scoring charts in the Aviva Premiership, but also overtaking the long-standing record of Tony Yapp as the Devon club’s leading points-scorer....
Rob Baxter is challenging his Exeter Chiefs side to "want more" as they gear up for the club's first-ever appearance in the Aviva Premiership play-offs. The Chiefs will wrap up the final round of the scheduled domestic season at Harlequins tomorrow (3:30pm) knowing a victory in the capital will guarantee them home advantage in a fortnight's time in the last four. Last weekend's impressive 24-3 victory over Wasps saw them leapfrog the Midlanders back into second spot, effectively putting them back in control of their own destiny at such a crucial stage of the campaign. Buoyed by that...
Nationwide fuel supplier Watson Fuels last week gave Cullompton Rugby Club U16s the opportunity to train with Exeter Chiefs’ stars Don Armand and Kai Horstmann. The training session took place on Tuesday 26th April, under the floodlit astro-turf next to the Chiefs’ Sandy Park stadium. The evening formed part of Watson Fuels sponsorship of the AVIVA Premiership club. The session followed Cullompton U16s usual practice, with Armand and Horstmann interjecting throughout to offer the youngsters tips and advice on how to improve their personal and collective game. Armand and Horstmann were also...
