Rob Baxter admits he sees a lot of similarities in new signing Dave Dennis to that of former Exeter Chiefs skipper Dean Mumm.

It was back in 2012 that Baxter brought Australian international Mumm to Sandy Park from Super Rugby outfit NSW Waratahs.

Three years later and Mumm departed Sandy Park as somewhat of a club legend, having made quite an impression during his time in Devon with the Chiefs.

Now back in Sydney, Exeter’s former talisman - who helped lift the LV= Cup back in 2014 - has played his part in helping to persuade 30-year-old Dennis to follow a similar...

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is backing his squad to show their strength in what will be a gruelling run of fixtures for all 12 clubs in this season’s Aviva Premiership.

Today's (SUNDAY) trip to Worcester Warriors marks the start of ten, unrelenting weeks of top-flight action for the Chiefs, who currently sit second in the standings and have just booked themselves a place in the last eight of the European Champions Cup for the first time.

There will be some out there who would look at the challenge ahead with an air of intrepidation, but not Baxter who, like his...

Short ready for Worcester test

Sunday’s showdown at Sixways (3pm) marks the start of a demanding ten-week block of top flight fixtures for Rob Baxter’s side, who currently lie second...

Baxter's joy as Stevenson makes Exeter return

Rob Baxter admits the return of Lewis Stevenson to Sandy Park “ticks a lot of boxes” for him as Exeter Chiefs look to advance over the course of the season. With both Damian Welch (pec) and Mitch Lees (bicep) set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines following injuries sustained, Baxter has found his options in the Exeter engine room becoming somewhat stretched in recent weeks.

Keen to bolster his playing stock, the Chiefs head coach today spoke of his delight at capturing the 31-year-old forward, who made 62 appearances for Exeter during a two-year stay 2007 and 2009.

Stevenson heads back to the Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs have today welcomed back Irishman Lewis Stevenson to the Aviva Premiership club on a deal until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old forward, who spent two seasons at Sandy Park between 2007 and 2009, returns to the Westcountry from Guinness Pro 12 outfit Ulster Rugby.

With Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter keen to bolster his second row options following significant injuries to Damian Welch and Mitch Lees in recent weeks, the arrival of Stevenson could not be better timed as the Devon club look to push on both in the Premiership and European Champions Cup....

Exeter’s 33-17 victory will live long in the minds of those who packed into Sandy Park, whilst for those watching on TV at home, the viewing was equally compelling as they advanced to...

Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to go “flat out” in their quest to keep alive their qualification hopes in this season’s European Champions Cup.

Tomorrow, the high-flying Aviva Premiership outfit head across the English Channel to tackle Bordeaux-Begles in their penultimate fixture in Pool Two of this season’s competition.
