Henry Slade is expecting yet another exciting continental adventure when the new European Rugby Challenge Cup gets underway next season.
The Chiefs have been drawn alongside Bayonne, La Rochelle and Connacht in Pool 2, a group that provides plenty of challenges but also some intriguing away trips for the Aviva Premiership outfit.
"It's a tough group, as always. We've played Connacht a couple of times in pre-season and that's always been a difficult game for us. Bayonne have got some big-name players so they'll be a big test, and La Rochelle will be a great way to break up...
Haydn Thomas says he is "excited" at the challenge that lies ahead for Exeter Chiefs following today's European Professional Rugby Challenge Cup draw in Switzerland.

In what will be Exeter's fifth season in European competition, Thomas knows the challenge of tackling opposition from overseas is something that players, coaches and supporters crave at the start of each...

The 21-year-old was one of five Chiefs players named in a large training squad preparing for the summer tour to New Zealand and the match against the Barbarians.
He did not make it onto the plane to New Zealand, with the likes of the much more experienced Owen Farrell, Stephen Myler, Freddie Burns and Danny Cipriani ahead of him in the pecking order.
However, he was selected as vice-captain for the non-capped international against the Barbarians...

In what has certainly been a year to remember for Henry Slade, the Exeter Chiefs young gun insists his key aim moving forward is to just "keep his head down".
During a terrific 12 months for the 21-year-old playmaker, not only has Slade helped England Under-20s to lift the Junior World Championship for the first time, but he has helped the Chiefs to secure their first-ever major trophy; featured regularly in both the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup; as well as getting senior international action with the England Saxons.
It has - in Slade's own words - been somewhat "...
James Phillips insists Saturday's win at Newcastle Falcons was the perfect way for him to bring down the curtain on his Exeter Chiefs career.
After four seasons at Sandy Park, the imposing forward is set for pastures new next season having sealed a move to Championship side London Scottish. However, he departs the Devon club not only with plenty of good memories, but safe in the knowledge that he has helped forge the Chiefs as one of the leading clubs in English rugby.
Recruited by Rob Baxter in the summer of 2010 after the Chiefs defeated former club Bristol in the...
