Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says he and his team are relishing kicking off another Aviva Premiership season against Wasps.
Having faced the Midlanders four times last season - winning all three Premiership meetings and losing at the death in the European Champions Cup quarter-final - the Chiefs will kick-off their seventh year in the top fight with a trip to the Ricoh Arena on Sunday, September 4 (3pm).
A week later and the Devon club will have an equally stiff assignment on home soil, welcoming reigning Premiership and European champions Saracens to Sandy Park in...
Exeter Chiefs newcomer Greg Holmes says he is “excited” by the challenge that lies ahead as he prepares to join up with the Aviva Premiership club in the coming weeks.
The 33-year-old prop is one of three new faces set to arrive at Sandy Park this summer, having been recruited by head coach Rob Baxter from Australian Super Rugby side, Queensland Reds, ahead of the new 2016/17 season.
Holmes is set to end his 11-year association with the Reds once the current Super Rugby season finishes and will come straight into the Chiefs plans as they look to attack the new Premiership...
Celebrate 10 years at Sandy Park at the Exeter Chiefs Season Launch Dinner on August 27th 2016.
We’ll be looking back at some of the best moments in Sandy Park’s history, plus previewing the new rugby season with the Exeter Chiefs and our special guest speaker David Flatman. This celebratory evening will also include a delicious three-course meal and live music from Charge!
Since retiring from professional rugby in 2012, David Flatman has carved out a successful media and commentary career. He co-presents ITV4’s Aviva Premiership highlights with Mark Durden-Smith and is...
Julian Salvi admitted the only thing missing from an “amazing” first year with the Exeter Chiefs was failing to pick up the Aviva Premiership title at Twickenham.
Brought to Devon last summer from Leicester Tigers, the Australian open-side has been a near ever-present for Rob Baxter’s side during a stellar campaign, which finished up at the home of English rugby in Saturday’s showpiece event.
Sadly, though, the Chiefs – playing in their first-ever Premiership final – could not cap what has been a year to remember for them as they went down narrowly to defending champions...
Exeter Chiefs can confirm that next week's Aviva Premiership Play-Off semi-final against Wasps is now a complete sell-out.
The few remaining tickets left after a busy few days of trading at Sandy Park were sold this morning and a means a capacity crowd of 12,600 will pack into the stadium for the fixture, which takes place on Saturday, May 21st (3:15pm).
Supporters who were unfortunate enough not to secure a ticket during the initial selling period are advised to look online, via the official website on Monday, May 16 (from 12.30pm), for any potential returns that may be...
This was capital punishment in it’s harshest form.
Rob Baxter’s side handed out arguably one of their finest displays in the Aviva Premiership to book themselves a first-ever semi-final in the end of season play-offs.
England star Jack Nowell led the way in a ten-try hammering of Harlequins, who were looking to give departing Director of Rugby, Conor O’Shea, the perfect send off before he heads for pastures new.
Instead, the Irishman could only watch on as Devon’s finest ran amok at the Twickenham Stoop. Nowell was crowned man...
Gareth Steenson admitted he was ‘lost for words’ after he was crowned Exeter Chiefs’ Player of the Year at their annual awards night.
In front of almost 600 people at the club’s Sandy Park Stadium, the Irish fly-half landed the highly sought after prize from his peers, beating off stiff competition from team-mates Don Armand and Will Chudley.
Steenson has enjoyed another stellar season in Exeter colours, not only topping the point-scoring charts in the Aviva Premiership, but also overtaking the long-standing record of Tony Yapp as the Devon club’s leading points-scorer....
Rob Baxter is challenging his Exeter Chiefs side to "want more" as they gear up for the club's first-ever appearance in the Aviva Premiership play-offs. The Chiefs will wrap up the final round of the scheduled domestic season at Harlequins tomorrow (3:30pm) knowing a victory in the capital will guarantee them home advantage in a fortnight's time in the last four. Last weekend's impressive 24-3 victory over Wasps saw them leapfrog the Midlanders back into second spot, effectively putting them back in control of their own destiny at such a crucial stage of the campaign. Buoyed by that...
Following the success of the first-ever European Cycle Challenge back in January, a new cycling club has been formed to carry on the fundraising efforts for years to come.
Exeter Chiefs Cycling has been formed to build on the success of this year’s challenge, which saw 23 riders and four support crew make the 485-mile route from Sandy Park to the Stade Chaban Delmas in Bordeaux, raising over £22,000 for the club’s official charity, Exeter Foundation.
The aim of the new club, details of which are to be announced shortly, is to build on the success of the Bordeaux trip and...
A first-ever play-off place assured in the Aviva Premiership, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is now setting new targets for his side as a gripping top flight season heads into the final straight.
Alongside Saracens and Sunday’s visitors to Sandy Park, Wasps, the Chiefs are one of three confirmed play-off contenders with two rounds of the scheduled domestic campaign remaining.
Defending champions Saracens look likely to claim pole position following 22 rounds of action, but the battle for home advantage between the Chiefs and Wasps could well go to the wire if the Devon...
