Dave Ewers wants to help Exeter Chiefs become a real force within the English game after he today agreed a new two-year contract with the Aviva Premiership club.
A product of the club's highly successful academy set-up, the imposing 23-year-old forward has taken his game to new heights this season, not only establishing himself as a first-team regular with the Devon club, but also impressing enough to be named in Stuart Lancaster's England Saxons squad.
Ewers' decision to stay at Sandy Park offers yet another boost to Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter, who in recent weeks has...
Thomas Waldrom says he is “excited” by the challenge that lies ahead after he today sealed a move to the Exeter Chiefs from Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers.
The 30-year-old England international will join the Devon club from the start of next season after recently agreeing a three-year contract with the Chiefs.
Waldrom’s switch to the Westcountry will bring to an end a successful four-year stint at Welford Road for the powerful back-row forward. Not only has he won five caps for England during his time in the East Midlands, but he has also claimed a Premiership...
Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to wrap up their Heineken Cup campaign in style when they travel to Cardiff Blues in tomorrow's final Pool Two fixture at the Arms Park (3.40pm). With European qualification hopes of any kind all but extinguished with last weekend's 15-10 home loss against Glasgow Warriors, the Chiefs are still determined to prove their worth in European Rugby's top cup competition and record a notable double over the star-studded Blues. At Sandy Park in October, Baxter's men produced a devastating first 40 minutes to blow aside the Welsh region. Not only was the all...
Having been given his first-ever taste of Heineken Cup action last weekend, Luke Cowan-Dickie is hoping for more European exposure on Saturday when the Exeter Chiefs tackle Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park (3.40pm).
The young Cornishman featured for just over an hour during the narrow 15-10 defeat against visiting Glasgow Warriors and impressed many with his on-field display.
Back on the pitch following a season which has been hampered by a knee injury sustained in the pre-season friendly at Scarlets back in August, the talented 20-year-old says he is clearly keen to make up...
Exeter Chiefs will have a new look to their line-up as they prepare to resume Heineken Cup action at home to Glasgow Warriors tomorrow (3pm).
Just days after slipping to a narrow 19-16 defeat to London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership, head coach Rob Baxter has shuffled his pack as the Devon club look to keep alive their European dreams for another week at least.
Just four players - Tom Johnson, Henry Slade and Luke Arscott - remain in the starting line-up from that which took to the field from the outset at Adams Park last Sunday.
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has today confirmed that tight-head prop Hoani Tui is to leave the Aviva Premiership club at the end of the season.
The 29-year-old will join Lyon, the current leaders of Pro D2, on a two-year deal this summer after five seasons playing for the Chiefs in both the Championship and the Premiership.
Signed from Italian outfit Calvisano in 2010, the popular Kiwi forward has to date played 109 times for the Chiefs in all competitions, scoring six tries in the process.
A cornerstone of the Exeter pack since his arrival in Devon, Tui not...
Exeter Chiefs hooker Chris Whitehead knows the modern-day game has no hiding place, but he insists he and his team-mates will learn lessons from their recent run of defeats.
In what has been a testing block of fixtures for Rob Baxter's side, Sunday's narrow loss at London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership means the Chiefs have now lost seven or their past eight games in all competitions.
That sequence of results has not only see the Chiefs slip to eighth place in the current Premiership standings, but has also dented their hopes of qualification in both the Heineken and LV=...
Scoring your first try for your club is always a special mention, but Dave Lewis admitted his celebrations were somewhat curtailed by the fact Exeter Chiefs slipped to a last-gasp defeat at Aviva Premiership rivals London Wasps.
With just 70 seconds played at Adams Park on Sunday, the scrum-half spotted a gap in the home defensive line before scampering under the sticks to give his side a dream start.
The Chiefs built on that early score and by half-time were 13-3 to the good thanks to further kicks from fly-half Henry Slade, who himself was making his first-ever start in...
Lads and dads are being called to take part in a rugby day out for Hospiscare in 2014.
The 10k Hospiscare Men’s Walk is a great way to spend a lads’ day out alongside friends and family members, with the male bonding continuing post-walk with a pint, pasty and three Six Nations rugby matches.
The third annual Men’s Walk will once again commence from the home of the Exeter Chiefs on Saturday March 15. The walk takes in spectacular views of the City as it goes through Ludwell Valley Park before heading back to the finish line at Sandy Park.
