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...
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...
Nationwide fuel supplier Watson Fuels last week gave Cullompton Rugby Club U16s the opportunity to train with Exeter Chiefs’ stars Don Armand and Kai Horstmann. The training session took place on Tuesday 26th April, under the floodlit astro-turf next to the Chiefs’ Sandy Park stadium. The evening formed part of Watson Fuels sponsorship of the AVIVA Premiership club. The session followed Cullompton U16s usual practice, with Armand and Horstmann interjecting throughout to offer the youngsters tips and advice on how to improve their personal and collective game. Armand and Horstmann were also...
Ricky Pellow said he could not have asked for anything more from his Exeter Braves side as they powered their way into this season’s Aviva Premiership A League final.
In a rampant display at Sandy Park, the Braves ran in eight tries to swot aside the attentions of visiting Newcastle Falcons 48-15.
International duo Chrysander Botha (3) and Michele Campagnaro (2) led the way for the Devonians, whose other touchdowns came courtesy of Ben White, Elvis Taione and Byron McGuigan, as well as four conversions from the boot of fly-half Will Hooley.
With little time to wallow in the disappointment of their European Champions Cup exit, it's back to the cut and thrust of the Aviva Premiership for Exeter Chiefs tomorrow as they take on Gloucester at Kingsholm (7.45pm).
Denied a place in the last four of Europe because of Jimmy Gopperth's last-gasp conversion a week ago, the prospect of booking a first-ever appearance in the Premiership play-offs should now act as the ideal incentive for Rob Baxter's side to attack the remainder of the season.
Having narrowly missed out on the play-offs last term due to points' difference...
Exeter Chiefs fly-half Gareth Steenson says his side are fully focused, as they prepare their visit to Wasps in the European Champions Cup Quarter final.
Steenson has been ever present in the Chiefs rise in recent years and has praised the hard work of the club, which has seen them qualify for their first European quater-final.
He said: “We’ve worked really hard to get into this position, it’s a fixture we’re really looking forward to.”
The Irishman says the Sandy Park club are confident going into the match, against a very much in form Waps side, particularly after...
Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell is looking to use England’s Six Nations Grand Slam victory to help steer the club to glory.
The 22-year-old was a key player for England, as Eddie Jones' side stormed to victory last month, and Nowell feels the experience will better him in the future.
Talking ahead of Chiefs highly anticipated European Champions Cup Quarter-final with Wasps, he said: “Playing in front of big crowds in high pressure situations and must-win games will benefit me when coming back here to play in the Quarter-finals.”
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has revealed his side are confident going into their European Champions Cup Quarter-final.
With the club having qualified for their very first European Cup quarter final, as well as being second in the AVIVA Premiership, it is an exciting period for the Chiefs as they visit an in form Wasps side on Saturday.
Ahead of the historic tie for the club Baxter says his side are expecting a tough match against the side, who Chiefs beat 41-27 in the Premiership earlier in the season.
He said: “We were really pleased with how we played that...
Ruthless in it’s extreme, Exeter Chiefs fired an ominous warning shot to their Aviva Premiership rivals as they edged ever closer to a first-ever appearance in the end of season play-offs.
Rob Baxter’s produced arguably their best display in weeks to run in eight tries against in-form Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park.
The free-scoring Thomas Waldrom extended his lead at the top of the division’s try pile with his second treble of the season, while winger Olly Woodburn added three of his own alongside further scores from James Short and Ollie Atkins.
