With One Year to Go to Rugby World Cup 2015, Prince Harry has been appointed as Honorary President of England Rugby 2015, the Organising Committee delivering Rugby World Cup 2015.
Prince Harry is a keen Rugby fan, and Vice Patron of the Rugby Football Union (RFU). In his role as Honorary President of England Rugby 2015, the Prince will play an important role in welcoming the 20 qualifying nations to Rugby World Cup 2015.
In the last year, England Rugby 2015 has made strong progress with planning and delivery of the Tournament. Key milestones include:
Ian Whitten believes a more clinical approach from the Exeter Chiefs is key if they are to topple the elite sides in this season’s Aviva Premiership.
Not for the first time in his playing career at Sandy Park, the 27-year-old Irishman saw his side fall just short of overcoming one of English rugby’s leading lights as they went down 24-20 to Leicester Tigers last Saturday.
In a theme similar to that of several encounters last season, the Chiefs failed to hold onto their half-time advantage and it was the Tigers who came back to claim a vital away-day win.
Exeter Chiefs star Jack Nowell says he has never "felt so good" on a rugby pitch after he marked his return to competitive action by claiming a try-double in Monday night's A League victory over London Welsh.
The England international has been sidelined since March with injuries to both his shoulder and knee, but he showed within minutes of his return that he was firing on all cylinders and itching to return to first team duty.
The Cornishman featured for 34 minutes as the Exeter Braves - who also added tries through Ceri Sweeney, Tom James, Jack Arnott, Sam Skinner and...
Congratulations to Exeter School Kate Marks for her selection on the RFU National Youth Council (NYC).
Through her role as a Young Ambassador for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and Captain of the Cornwall County Squad, the Upper Sixth Former has been selected as one of 12 young people from across the country to serve on NYC.
The NYC is a group of 16 - 24 year olds from across the country, involved in all aspects of the game, working directly with the wider Rugby Football Union and England Rugby to help the growth and development of youth rugby across the country.
Having revved up for the new Aviva Premiership season with victories already over Cardiff Blues and Ulster, Exeter Chiefs will be looking to fine tune their game plan in tonight’s final pre-season friendly against Worcester Warriors at Sixways (7.30).
Head coach Rob Baxter admits he has been largely encouraged with his squad’s pre-season work so far, but the acid test will ultimately come when the Devon club kick-off their league campaign at newly-promoted London Welsh on Sunday week.
To ensure the Chiefs head into that tussle in fine fettle, Baxter is aiming to use his...
Former Exeter Chiefs hooker, Chris Whitehead has confirmed a series of events celebrating his career in professional rugby having been forced into retirement earlier this year due to a neck injury.
Having had his stint in the Chiefs’ front row cut brutally short, Chris looks to celebrate his achievements with the club over the next 12 months before hanging up his boots for good.
Chris made over 50 appearances in a Chiefs’ shirt during his time at Sandy Park and secured himself a place in the club’s hall of fame courtesy of some incredible performances, including his...
England Rugby 2015, the Organising Committee for Rugby World Cup 2015, has announced the list of 41 Team Bases which will host the 20 participating teams during the Tournament, taking place between September 18 and October 31 2015.

The search for Team Bases was launched via an open tender process in April 2013 and just under 100 bids were received from across the country and in Wales. All prospective Team Bases were subject to a...
Summer signing Ryan Caldwell says he wants to build on an encouraging start to life at Exeter Chiefs when he features in this evening's pre-season friendly at Ulster Rugby.
The 29-year-old forward was one of eight new recruits brought to Sandy Park by head coach Rob Baxter during the close season - and he got his first taste of action at his new club when he featured in the second half of the 24-17 win at Cardiff Blues.
Caldwell returns to his Belfast birthplace aiming to sink his former club as he starts in a powerful Exeter pack for their latest pre-season work-out....
