Exeter Chiefs skills coach Ricky Pellow believes news that the European Grand Prix 7s Series is heading to the Westcountry is a major coup for the rugby-mad region.

If Exeter Chiefs are to become the first-ever side to reclaim the LV= Cup, then the hard work will have to be carried out in the rugby hotbed of the East Midlands.
The defending champions saw their hopes of a home semi-final blown away by a powerful second half display from Saracens at Allianz Park.
The Londoners produced a rock-solid display, both in attack and defence, to not only see off the Chiefs, but at the same time book their own place in the last four of the competition.
Ricky Pellow believes it’s testament to the quality and professionalism within the squad that Exeter Chiefs are pushing hard for honours on three fronts this season.
Having positioned themselves nicely amongst the Premiership’s leading lights, as well as booking a last eight place in the European Challenge Cup, the Devon club last week became the first side to ensure their place in this season’s LV= Cup semi-finals with victory away to the Newport-Gwent Dragons.
Last Sunday’s 37-32 success at Rodney Parade meant the Chiefs will top Pool Four regardless of what happens...

Defending champions Exeter Chiefs booked their place in the last four of this season’s LV= Cup with this hard-fought victory away to Newport-Gwent Dragons.
Rob Baxter’s side ran in five tries on their way to victory in Wales through Adam Hughes, Fetu’u Vainikolo, Tom James, Sam Skinner and a Penalty Try, but they were made to fight all the way by the Welsh region who themselves ran in four touchdowns of their own during a points-filled second half.
It was no more than the Chiefs – whose other points came courtesy of former...
Having already advanced to the latter stages of European competition, Exeter Chiefs know victory in Wales this weekend will see them edge ever closer to the last four of this season’s LV= Cup.
Impressive home victories over Gloucester and Bath have positioned Rob Baxter’s side top of their pool at the halfway stage - and another success today (Sunday) against Newport-Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade (2:30pm) will have the Devon club all but there in terms of qualification.
