Buddy Bear from Devon’s Crealy Great Adventure Park joined other Mascots at Sandy Park for some half time fun and frivolity during the Exeter Chiefs v London Welsh rugby match.
This ‘mascots in unison’ event was to mark the Rugby World Cup games coming to Devon and to celebrate Devon’s Top Attractions 30th Anniversary year. The Exeter Chiefs kindly agreed for Buddy Bear and the other mascots join in the half time fun which provided a highly entertaining and competitive interval for the fans.
Simon Fishwick, Chairman of Devon’s Top Attractions, said “this event symbolises...
Match report: Leicester Tigers 22 Exeter Chiefs 30
Exeter Chiefs remain on course to become the first-ever side to defend the LV= Cup after they saw off rivals Leicester Tigers in a pulsating encounter in the East Midlands.
Rob Baxter’s side booked themselves a final date against Saracens next Sunday having produced a dogged, yet determined display against their illustrious hosts.
Tongan duo Elvis Taione and Fetu’u Vainikolo both claimed a try apiece in the first half, whilst the metronomic boot of skipper Ceri Sweeney was good enough to keep the Tigers at bay for...
It's the the ultimate ‘Sevens Heaven’ as Exeter prepares to welcome the European Grand Prix 7s Series to Sandy Park in July.
The award-winning home of rugby in Devon – which has already been selected as one of 12 venues for this year’s Rugby World Cup – is set to welcome the cream of European Sevens talent for a star-studded weekend of action.
With qualification for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil on the line, the July 11-12 event promises to be an vital competition for the seven-a-side game – and will see the home unions of England, Scotland and Wales, tackling rivals from...

WESC Foundation was founded in 1838 and is based on the Topsham Road in Exeter. The charity is dedicated to sharing knowledge, expertise and technologies through effective partnerships and transforming the lives of those affected by visual impairment.

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.
Add into the mix that the Chiefs are also pushing hard in the latter stages of both the European Challenge and LV= Cups and it all...
Phil Dollman believes Exeter Chiefs have their seasonal destiny firmly in their own hands as they look to attack on three different fronts between now and the end of the campaign.
After four successive Aviva Premiership victories - the latest being a record-breaking 74-19 success over winless London Welsh - the Chiefs are not only sitting second in the league standings, but are nicely placed to also attack the latter stages of both the European Challenge and LV= Cups.
It was around this time a year ago that Rob Baxter's side collected their first-ever piece of major...
Exeter Chiefs fly half Henry Slade is included in the England squad preparing to face Scotland in the RBS 6 Nations clash on Saturday after Brad Barritt was ruled out of the reminder of the tournament.
The Devon-born 21 year-old, who has featured impressively at inside and outside centre for his club this term, replaces unlucky Barritt after the Saracens centre who suffered an ankle sprain against Wasps on Sunday.
With Sunday's Leicester Tigers vs Newcastle Falcons match also affecting the availability of players to train, Bath Rugby hooker Rob Webber comes in for Tom...
Much of modern day rugby is all about analysing data, crunching numbers and reviewing performance - and the role of club analysts has become increasingly vital in the success of any professional club.
Here at Sandy Park it's no different for the Exeter Chiefs as Performance Analyst Simon 'Chucky' Norris heads up the club's department in that very field.
Video content, statistical spreadsheets, opposition trends and player analysis are just some of the areas that Simon and his dedicated team look to maximise during their working week.
For 20 minutes it was a decent enough contest, but then Exeter Chiefs kicked into gear and winless London Welsh simply had no answer to the might of the in-form Devonians.
Rob Baxter’s side steamrollered their way to second in the Aviva Premiership with a nine-try destruction of the Exiles. It wasn’t vintage stuff from the Chiefs – even though the scoreline suggests otherwise – but it was still more than enough to clock up an 11th league win of the season.
Free-scoring No.8 Thomas Waldrom added two more tries to his seasonal tally – he’s now on 12 and still top of the tree...
Ali Hepher says Exeter Chiefs will go “full bore” at ensuring this latest block of Aviva Premiership fixtures finishes on a high note.
Having notched up successive league wins over Newcastle Falcons, Harlequins and Bath to move to third in the current standings, the Devon club will now be looking to add the scalp of lowly London Welsh to their list of victims at Sandy Park today (3pm).
It’s certainly been an encouraging response from the Chiefs, who either side of Christmas lost four games on the bounce in the top flight.
