Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to reinforce their “traditional qualities” as they look to become the first side this season to do the double over reigning Aviva Premiership champions Northampton Saints.
The Chiefs remain the only club to have toppled the league leaders on home soil this season, emerging victorious from their clash back in November, and the two sides will lock horns again this Sunday at a sold-out Sandy Park (2pm).
With the Saints currently riding high at the summit, ten points clear of next best Saracens, the Chiefs know it will be their toughest...
A three-day rugby training camp held by Exeter Chiefs and Newton Abbot has been hailed an ‘amazing success’.
More than 90 five to 14 year olds took part in the three-day Rugby Training Camp held at Newton Abbot Rugby Club, in the Easter holidays.
Boys and girls took part, learning rugby and multi-sport skills provided by qualified rugby coaches and 1st XV players. The training camp culminated with Exeter Chiefs star players Tom Johnson and Gareth Steenson getting involved on the final day, thanks to the Premiership side’s sponsor Centrax.
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says it’s unlikely Scottish international Moray Low will play for the club again this season.
The 30-year-old tight-head was forced off during last weekend’s European Challenge Cup victory over Newcastle Falcons at Sandy Park with a a hamstring injury.
Scans this week have since revealed that Low - who was signed from Glasgow Warriors last summer - has caused significant damage and will now sit out the remaining weeks of the campaign.
It’s an untimely blow for Baxter, whose side this weekend play host to league leaders Northampton...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Will Hooley is a “great fit” for his side after he today sealed a move from Aviva Premiership counterparts Northampton Saints.
The 21-year-old fly-half is the latest addition in what is proving a busy period of squad strengthening from Baxter ahead of the 2015/16 season.
Already the Devon club have brought in Geoff Parling, Ollie Woodburn, Michele Campagnaro, Ollie Atkins and Shaun Malton - and Hooley’s arrival will further boost what is looking like another powerful mix at Sandy Park next term.
Exeter Chiefs have bolstered their attacking options for next season with the acquisition of young fly-half Will Hooley from Aviva Premiership rivals Northampton Saints.
The 21-year-old playmaker has penned terms on a two-year deal at Sandy Park and will provide top quality competition for the No.10 role alongside current incumbents Gareth Steenson and Henry Slade.
Cambridge-born Hooley arrives at Sandy Park having joined the Saints Academy as a 12-year-old. Since then, he has grown in stature at Franklin’s Gardens and worked his way into Jim Mallinder’s first-team squad,...

Exeter Chiefs booked themselves a first-ever European semi-final encounter as they brushed aside Aviva Premiership rivals Newcastle Falcons with a six-try blast at Sandy Park.
Rob Baxter’s side dominated throughout and sealed a last four date with Gloucester in a fortnight’s time thanks to a Penalty Try and further touchdowns from Dave Ewers, Thomas Waldrom (pictured), Byron McGuigan, Sam Hill and Dean Mumm.
Fly-half Henry Slade weighed in with a further 14 points before Gareth Steenson maintained the scoring sequence with two late conversions for the hosts.
Newcomer Shaun Malton says he’s ready to start an “exciting new chapter in his life” after he became the latest addition to Rob Baxter’s first team squad at Exeter Chiefs.
The South African-born hooker is the Devon club’s fifth new addition ahead of the 2015/16 season and joins on a two-year deal from Championship outfit Nottingham.
Malton, who has previously had spells with London Irish and also the Sharks in the Currie Cup, admitted the chance to join the Aviva Premiership club was an opportunity he simply could not resist.
Prop Alex Brown insists Exeter has become ‘home from home’ for him and that he was more than happy to extend his stay with the Chiefs for a further two years at least.
Signed during the summer of 2013 from Championship side Doncaster Knights, the Rochford-born tight-head has settled well to life in the Westcountry and has established himself as a proven force within the Exeter front-row.
An LV= Cup winner last term, Brown was also part of this season’s squad that came within a whisker of reclaiming their crown against Saracens at Northampton a fortnight ago.
