Here's the new squad ready to face the new season, on a new pitch.
Rob Baxter's new-look team open their campaign at newly-promoted London Welsh on Sunday before taking on the Leicester Tigers at home the following Saturday.
After a multi-million pound revamp, Sandy Park promises to be even bigger and better for those heading to the region’s premier sporting club this season.
And from as little as £330 for adults; £200 for students and £165 for children under-16, you can guarantee your place in certain sections of the South West Communications Stand – at a reduction...
Exeter Chiefs captain Dean Mumm will watch from the Kassam Stadium stands when his team’s new Aviva Premiership season kicks off against London Welsh on Sunday, but has faith in his young team-mates to begin with a bang.
The former Australia lock underwent surgery on his shoulder over the summer and is not fit enough to lead out the reigning LV= Cup holders this weekend.
It means a youthful looking side will be left to battle against the Aviva Premiership new boys. But, despite some of the squad’s younger players having displayed a rawness in pre-season training, the 30-...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has confirmed Pat Phibbs is to return to the club on trial with immediate effect.
The Australian scrum-half signed for London Irish on a two-year deal in February 2013 but was released this summer after breaking a foot in pre-season last year.
However, pre-season knocks to Dave Lewis and Will Chudley have meant Baxter is keen to ensure there is sufficient cover for the start of the new Aviva Premiership season, which gets underway this Sunday with a trip to newly-promoted London Welsh (2pm).
Exeter Chiefs wrapped up an impressive pre-season programme by making it ‘three from three’ with victory over Dean Ryan’s Worcester Warriors at Sixways.
Having already accrued pre-season wins at Cardiff Blues and Ulster during the past fortnight, the Warriors provided the final opposition for Baxter’s side ahead of their Aviva Premiership opener against London Welsh next Sunday.
However, the Midlanders could not contain the powerful Chiefs who claimed tries through Jack Yeandle (2), Mitch Lees and Thomas Waldroms, as well as conversions from Gareth Steenson (2) and Henry...
Exeter Chiefs will take to the road this season with a stylish new look following the delivery this week of the club's latest state-of-the-art team coach. As these pictures show, Rob Baxter and his playing squad will be travelling to rugby venues across the country in style following the acquisition of the new vehicle this summer. Fitted with all the latest mod-cons, including an on-board kitchen, Digital TV, DVD player, X-Box and music system, the Aviva Premiership club may well be the envy of their league rivals as they hit the motorway network of the UK this term. At a cost of just over...
Having revved up for the new Aviva Premiership season with victories already over Cardiff Blues and Ulster, Exeter Chiefs will be looking to fine tune their game plan in tonight’s final pre-season friendly against Worcester Warriors at Sixways (7.30).
Head coach Rob Baxter admits he has been largely encouraged with his squad’s pre-season work so far, but the acid test will ultimately come when the Devon club kick-off their league campaign at newly-promoted London Welsh on Sunday week.
To ensure the Chiefs head into that tussle in fine fettle, Baxter is aiming to use his...
Former Exeter Chiefs hooker, Chris Whitehead has confirmed a series of events celebrating his career in professional rugby having been forced into retirement earlier this year due to a neck injury.
Having had his stint in the Chiefs’ front row cut brutally short, Chris looks to celebrate his achievements with the club over the next 12 months before hanging up his boots for good.
Chris made over 50 appearances in a Chiefs’ shirt during his time at Sandy Park and secured himself a place in the club’s hall of fame courtesy of some incredible performances, including his...
