Exeter Chiefs have announced that skipper Dean Mumm is to return home to Australia at the end of the current season.
The 31-year-old – who is to rejoin former club the NSW Waratahs on a one-year deal – is hoping his return to Sydney will help him earn a recall to the Wallabies squad ahead of this year’s Rugby World Cup in England.
Signed by head coach Rob Baxter in 2012, the Auckland-born forward has been an inspired capture ever since he arrived at Sandy Park and his departure will certainly be belt, both on and off the field, here in Devon.
Exeter’s hopes of becoming the first-ever side to lift back-to-back LV= Cup titles were thwarted at the death as Ben Spencer kicked a last-gasp penalty to give Saracens victory in a thrilling encounter in Northampton.
Having battled their way back from 20-6 down midway through the second half, the Chiefs were ultimately denied when the former Ivybridge Community College student punished Greg Bateman’s late indiscretion with a pressure kick.
It was a heart-breaking moment for the defending champions, who having led 6-3 at the break thanks to two penalties from skipper Ceri...

Ricky Pellow believes victory for Exeter Chiefs in this weekend’s LV= Cup Final would eclipse the efforts of last season when the Devon club lifted the trophy for the first time.
Twelve months ago the Chiefs made the most of home territory and a bumper Sandy Park following to overcome rivals Northampton Saints 15-8.
On Sunday, the defending champions will take to the field at Franklin’s Gardens (3pm) looking not only to overcome fellow finalists Saracens, but at the same time become the first-ever club to win the Anglo-Welsh crown back-to-back.
The Exeter Chiefs are enjoying yet another fantastic season, but who are the real winners?

Thomas 'The Tank' Waldrom insists it's 'full steam ahead' for everyone at Exeter Chiefs as they target a strong finish to the 20-14/15 season.
Last Saturday's record-breaking 74-19 home win over London Welsh not only ensured the Devon club finished their latest batch of Aviva Premiership fixtures lying second in the standings, but ensured them of the perfect round having already seen off Newcastle Falcons, Harlequins and Bath in as many weeks.
