Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says he is looking to unleash the “huge potential” on offer in new signing Tomas Francis.
The 21-year-old prop, who has joined from Championship side London Scottish, has today put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club and will bolster Baxter’s options in the front-row following the departures this summer of Hoani Tui (Lyon) and Craig Mitchell (Cardiff Blues).
Francis is one of two tight-heads, the other being Scottish international Moray Low, that Baxter has recruited ahead of the 2014/15 season and the Chiefs...
Head coach Rob Baxter believes Ceri Sweeney has a key role to play within the Exeter Chiefs make-up after he today agreed terms on a new one-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club.

With vital top flight points up for grabs as the season hits a crucial phase, Tui is well aware he and his team-mates can ill afford another slip-up following last week's last-gasp defeat to league leaders Northampton Saints at Sandy Park.
Currently the Chiefs sit in eighth spot, some seven points adrift of the last play-off spot which is currently occupied by Harlequins on 36 points. Bath, on the other hand, are enjoying...
Irishman Ian Whitten insists Exeter Chiefs can ill afford a slow start when they tackle local rivals Bath in Saturday's Aviva Premiership derby at Sandy Park (3.15pm).

Exeter Chiefs are excited to announce that X Factor 2013 star Shelley Smith will be performing at this weekend's Heineken Cup encounter with Glasgow Warriors at Sandy Park (3pm).

In what has been a testing block of fixtures for Rob Baxter's side, Sunday's narrow loss at London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership means the Chiefs have now lost seven or their past eight games in all competitions.
That sequence of results has not only see the Chiefs slip to eighth place in the current Premiership standings, but has also dented their hopes of qualification in both the Heineken and LV=...
