Ali Hepher says Exeter Chiefs will go “full bore” at ensuring this latest block of Aviva Premiership fixtures finishes on a high note.
Having notched up successive league wins over Newcastle Falcons, Harlequins and Bath to move to third in the current standings, the Devon club will now be looking to add the scalp of lowly London Welsh to their list of victims at Sandy Park today (3pm).
It’s certainly been an encouraging response from the Chiefs, who either side of Christmas lost four games on the bounce in the top flight.
Pints in hand - The Dawdling Dads might not look busy but really they’re hard at work in their Silverton local planning their fundraising for a charity walk.
The group of new dads are taking part in the 12k Hospiscare FUGBY12 men’s walk on Saturday March 21.
Group organiser Richard Osborne said: “It's not the most arduous of challenges it's true, but it's an important charity nevertheless, and local to us here.
"My partner’s uncle recently passed away, and at the end of his life he was in a lot of pain, but luckily there were people there to support him and be with...

The cost of the camp is £40 for two days with the third day thrown in for free, courtesy of Exeter Chiefs and Centrax, one of Exeter Chiefs key sponsors.

Stuart Lancaster has named Jack Nowell in his starting side to face Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday (kick-off 3pm, live one BBC One).
Another new face is full back Alex Goode, who starred in the 12-6 triumph last time England were in Dublin, starts his first Test for two years after replacing Harlequins' Mike Brown.
Nowell – in scintillating domestic form with Exeter Chiefs – is preferred to Gloucester Rugby's Jonny May as the only two unbeaten teams in the RBS 6 Nations go head-to-head.
In the only other change to the England match-day 23 that defeated Italy...
Exeter Chiefs wing Jack Nowell has replaced Jonny May of Gloucester Rugby in a 26-man England training squad to prepare for Sunday's RBS 6 Nations match against Ireland.
Nowell, who featured in all five matches during last season's tournament, inspired his club to a 32-21 victory over Harlequins on Saturday after spending the preceding week at Pennyhill Park with Stuart Lancaster's starters from the previous weekend's defeat of Italy.
Elsewhere in the back three, Saracens full back Alex Goode – a veteran of the 12-6 win in Dublin two years ago – is retained while Mike Brown...
Rob Baxter admitted afterwards if he could bottle the desire shown by his players in this display, then it would be a remedy coaches around the world would be keen to dish out by the spoonful.
Exeter Chiefs moved back into the top three of the Aviva Premiership with a hard fought victory over Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop.
Another masterful display from fly-half Henry Slade saw the young playmaker help himself to 27 points on the day, whilst flanker Ben White weighed in with the other score during an action-packed...
Having seen his side return to winning ways in the Aviva Premiership last weekend, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is hoping for more of the same at Harlequins tomorrow (Saturday 3pm).
Last Saturday’s 46-17 home win over Newcastle Falcons was just the pick-me-up the Westcountry outfit needed following a turgid run of league form either side of Christmas.
Four successive losses meant the Chiefs had allowed a number of their top flight rivals around them to close in - and with it create a bit of log-jam with regards to the positioning around the top end of the table....

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Michele Campagnaro can help add some additional ‘X-Factor’ to his side’s back division next season.
Having already bolstered his options with the recruitment of both Geoff Parling and Ollie Woodburn in recent weeks, Baxter has ventured a little further afield for his third new capture who joins from Rabo ProDirect 12 side Benetton Treviso.
As always, the Chiefs supremo and his coaching team have monitored Campagnaro’s performance for some time and having put together a detailed assessment of the Mirano-born back, they...
