Harlequins mustered a late consolation score through Calum Waters late on, but that was a rare bright spot on a day when the...

A charity set up just six years ago to help promote the local community and the vision of people who and work there is today celebrating raising the sum of £1m.
Put together back in 2011 by three rugby directors and three local businessmen, the Exeter Foundation is a city-based charity that has been working tirelessly to bring future prosperity to the people in and around the Devon city.
And since its inception the Exeter Foundation has helped to directly fund over 75 different charities and organisations in a series of wide-ranging projects and schemes.
Rob Baxter may be wary of the threat Newcastle Falcons pose to his Exeter side, but insists its challenges such as tomorrow that his Chiefs outfit need to overcome to achieve their seasonal objectives. With just six rounds of the scheduled Aviva Premiership season remaining, the jostling for key positions at both ends of the table is start to intensify and Baxter knows this is the time where teams need to start delivering. Having not lost in the top flight since Bath won at Sandy Park in late October, Devon’s finest have positioned themselves nicely into the play-off places and have their...

Exeter Chiefs maintained their top three placing in the Aviva Premiership with a hard-fought draw against leaders Wasps at Sandy Park.
In what was a pulsating encounter from start to finish, Rob Baxter’s side couldn’t quite sneak over the finish line to secure maximum reward, this despite playing most of the second half with 14 men following a red card for lock Jonny Hill.
Joe Simpson’s converted score ten minutes from time enabled the visitors to claim a share of the spoils and maintain their lofty position after 14 rounds of battle.
Sam Simmonds has every reason to be beaming with delight today as not only is he set to make his Aviva Premiership debut, but the young Exeter Chiefs forward has also penned a new two-year deal with the Devon club.
The 22-year-old will celebrate his latest contract by packing down at No.8 for Rob Baxter’s side when they play host to Wasps at Sandy Park (1pm).
It’s rich reward for the Teignmouth youngster, who has shown in recent weeks his growing stature within the ranks at the Chiefs, producing two eye-catching displays against Wasps and Bristol in the Anglo-Welsh Cup....
