Exeter Chiefs' Ewers set for the challenge ahead

Dave Ewers believes the final three games of this season’s Aviva Premiership represent a “massive challenge” to the Exeter Chiefs as they look to seal a place amongst the division’s top six sides. With important clashes against London Irish (home), London Wasps (away) and Gloucester (home) remaining for the Devon club, Ewers knows the battle for Heineken Cup qualification next season is set to go to right to the wire. However, buoyed by Saturday’s late 24-18 victory over Worcester Warriors at Sixways, Rob Baxter’s side have certainly positioned themselves nicely for the top flight’s final...

Chiefs in "good nick" says Rob Baxter

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes his side are in “good nick” as the race to secure a place in the top six of this season’s Aviva Premiership hots up.

Dean Mumm’s first try for the Chiefs ensured the Devon club picked up their third top flight win in four games with a hard fought 24-18 victory over Worcester Warriors at Sixways.

With just two minutes remaining, the Aussie international found his way over from close range to seal a vital four points for Baxter’s men and condemn their opponents to another late defeat.

Although the Chiefs – who scored...

Chiefs victorious over Warriors for a second time this season

Worcester Warriors 18 - Exeter Chiefs 24

Who says lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place?

Twelve months ago, Exeter Chiefs defied the odds to stage a remarkable comeback – scoring two tries in the final two minutes – to snatch a famous win at Worcester’s Sixways Stadium.

Present day and Rob Baxter’s men were repeating the feat as Dean Mumm’s late touchdown saw the Devon club keep alive their quest to be back amongst Europe’s elite in next season’s Heineken Cup with another dramatic success. With just two minutes remaining, the towering Aussie collected his...

Jess Joins the 100 club

Exeter Chiefs speedster Matt Jess believes if his side go out and attack the last four games of the season, then the Devon club will have every chance of securing a top six spot in the Aviva Premiership.

Just 24 hours before he and his team-mates are due to travel to rivals Worcester Warriors, the 28-year-old emphasised the importance of the Chiefs setting out their stall from minute one at Sixways.

Jess was involved in last season’s dramatic victory for the Chiefs at the same venue, when late tries from Phil Dollman and Sireli Naqelevuki in the final two minutes not only...

England turn to Baxter for Argentina tour

Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after it was confirmed that he will form part of England's coaching team for their summer's tour to Argentina.

Subject to Aviva Premiership placings, Tavistock-born Baxter will link up with Lancaster and attacking skills coach Mike Catt to prepare for the Killik Cup against the Barbarians at Twickenham on May 26, while Gustard will be...

Chiefs keen to learn from recent defeat

Long-serving No.8 Richard Baxter believes that Exeter Chiefs are still learning in the Aviva Premiership and that is key to their future in the top flight.

Baxter, who captained the Devon club in their narrow defeat to Leicester Tigers at the weekend, is taking all the positives out of the performance at Sandy Park – whilst at the same time focusing his attentions firmly on Saturday’s trip up the M5 to rivals Worcester Warriors (3pm)

“Full credit to Leicester, they were able to grind out the result better than we did,” said Baxter afterwards. “At the moment we’re striving...

Sturgess upbeat despite narrow loss at the weekend

Returning prop Brett Sturgess still believes that Exeter Chiefs’ Heineken Cup dream is still alive despite their narrow defeat against Leicester Tigers at the weekend.

The boot of England international Toby Flood kicked the Tigers to a narrow 12-9 victory at a packed Sandy Park, but Kettering-born Sturgess insists the mood within the camp remains buoyant despite the latest reverse.

The Chiefs currently lie in eighth place in the Aviva Premiership standings, but are just five points adrift of the crucial sixth spot which brings about qualification for next season’s Heineken...

Chiefs to play Leicester Tigers

Exeter Chiefs will face Leicester Tigers tomorrow at 5pm in a sold-out match at Sandy Park.

Head coach Rob Baxter expects his side to fight "tooth and nail" in their bid to get among the front-runners in this season's Aviva Premiership. Back to back wins over London Welsh and reigning champions Harlequins have propelled the Chiefs back up the table ahead of tomorrow's visit.

Baxter wants his team to build on those two successes against English rugby's most successful club side, who will be looking to complete a league double over their Devon hosts and maintain their play-...
