Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell says he is "over the moon" after he was named in Stuart Lancaster's 33-man England squad for the upcoming QBE Autumn Internationals.
The talented Cornishman is Exeter's sole representative in the England party, who over the course of November will tackle world champions New Zealand (Nov 8), South Africa (Nov 15), Samoa (Nov 22) and Australia (Nov 29).
For Nowell, his inclusion offers him the chance to add to his current tally of five international caps, all of which were gained during this year's Six Nations campaign.
The Exeter Chiefs will be swapping their rugby boots for walking shoes next May, as they pledge to take part in popular fundraising event the Exeter Foundation Big Walk.

Sponsored by South West Communications, Northcott Beaton, Santander and The Landrover Experience, The Big Walk starts and finishes at recently reopened Sandy Park, and takes in a flat, scenic route through the River Exe Valley.
The Big Walk is open to anyone aged over 12, although there...

For 100 years they have gone somewhat unnoticed, but 12 former Exeter Rugby Club players and officials are to be officially remembered with a new commemorative plaque at Sandy Park.
The lives of the forgotten few will be highlighted in a special memorial service which will take place at the stadium on Armistice Day, Tuesday 11 November, at 10.30am.
For years, Exeter Rugby Club have proudly displayed within the County Suite a memorial plaque of the names of those former players who paid the ultimate sacrifice during the Second World War. However, new information supplied to...
Rob Baxter says he will utilise every option available to him as he looks to keep his Exeter Chiefs team firing on all cylinders.
After six weeks of Aviva Premiership action, focus this weekend switches to that of Europe and a trip to French Top14 side Bayonne in their opening round of this season’s new-look European Rugby Challenge Cup.
The Chiefs head across the English Channel later today to prepare for their on-field engagement at the Stade Jean Dauger tomorrow night (8pm CET).
It marks the start of four successive Cup fixtures for Devon’s finest who, after this...
Exeter Chiefs 44 London Irish 24 Mark Stevens at Sandy Park Exeter Chiefs rediscovered their winning habit at just the right time as they swot aside the attentions of visiting London Irish with a powerful display to remain amongst the frontrunners in this season’s Aviva Premiership.
Rob Baxter’s side ran in five tries courtesy of Carl Rimmer, Damian Welch (2), Henry Slade and Don Armand, while fly-half Gareth Steenson slotted a further 19 points courtesy of five conversions and three penalties.
In a one-sided first period, all Irish could muster in terms of a score was a...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says he wants to see a response from his players following last weekend’s Aviva Premiership loss at Newcastle Falcons.
Having gone into the game at Kingston Park buoyed by notable wins over Gloucester (away) and Harlequins (home), Devon’s finest hit a speed bump in the North East as the Falcons claimed their first league win in 20 games with a 29-24 success.
It was a disappointing outcome for the Chiefs, who with 20 minutes remaining in the contest were in front 24-17. However, late tries from Tom Catterick and Noah Cato proved decisive...
Exeter Chiefs may be odds-on with the bookmakers to clock up their fourth Aviva Premiership victory of the season at Newcastle Falcons this Sunday, but head coach Rob Baxter doesn’t quite see as simple as that.
Winless in their last 20 top flight games, the Chiefs head honcho insists the Falcons have little to lose and everything to gain ahead of his side’s latest trip to Kingston Park (3pm).
Such a pre-match warning is certainly creditable from Baxter, who will figure in his 500th league game as either an Exeter player or coach this weekend. However, at the same time his...
Henry Slade insists he and his Exeter Chiefs are prepared to go to "dark places" in a bid to see off their Aviva Premiership rivals.
With three victories from four starts already this season, Slade was again at the heart of Exeter's latest success story as he helped himself to a maiden Premiership try and two penalties in the Devon club's 36-13 win over Harlequins at Sandy Park.
Alongside fellow young gun Sam Hill in the Exeter midfield, the 21-year-old back has enjoyed a stellar start to the 2014/15 campaign, producing a string of impressive on-field displays that have had...
Thomas Waldrom says it's vital the Exeter Chiefs continue to keep moving forward after an encouraging start to the 2014/15 Aviva Premiership season.
The Chiefs notched up their third win in four starts on Sunday when they overcame Harlequins 36-13 at Sandy Park.
Summer signing Waldrom claimed Exeter's opening try at the weekend - and took his own season tally to three as he touched down alongside skipper Jack Yeandle and centre Henry Slade.
Fly-half Gareth Steenson added a further 15 points, whilst two more monster penalties from Slade helped to complete the job on...
