London’s Calling for Exeter Chiefs after they booked themselves a first-ever appearance in the Aviva Premiership final.
Just six years after joining English rugby’s elite, Rob Baxter’s side are now just 80 minutes away from landing the biggest prize in the club’s history.
Standing in the way of history will be Saracens, the reigning European champions and the defending Premiership Kings, who themselves saw off the challenge of Leicester Tigers in the day’s other last four encounter.
The Chiefs, however, will head into the contest brimming with confidence having swot...
Exeter Chiefs may find themselves in unchartered waters when it comes to the Aviva Premiership play-offs, but head coach Rob Baxter wants his team to make the most of the opportunity afforded to them this weekend. Having finished the scheduled English season in second spot, accruing 15 wins from 22 games, the Chiefs have home advantage for tomorrow’s visit of Wasps to a packed out Sandy Park (3:15pm). It will mark the fourth meeting of the season between the two clubs, but it’s arguably the biggest yet with the prize on offer a trip to Twickenham a week later in the showpiece event of the...

Hat-trick hero Jack Nowell says Exeter Chiefs cannot afford to let their standards slip as the quest for glory in this season's Aviva Premiership cranks up another notch. The Cornishman was in devastating form on Saturday, helping himself to three of Exeter's ten tries in their 62-24 demolition of Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop. That success not only ensured Rob Baxter's side ended the scheduled top flight season on a significant high, but it guaranteed the Chiefs second spot in the table and a home semi-final against Wasps in the end of season play-offs. England international Nowell...
This was capital punishment in it’s harshest form.
Rob Baxter’s side handed out arguably one of their finest displays in the Aviva Premiership to book themselves a first-ever semi-final in the end of season play-offs.
England star Jack Nowell led the way in a ten-try hammering of Harlequins, who were looking to give departing Director of Rugby, Conor O’Shea, the perfect send off before he heads for pastures new.
Instead, the Irishman could only watch on as Devon’s finest ran amok at the Twickenham Stoop. Nowell was crowned man...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has confirmed that both Byron McGuigan and Chrysander Botha are to leave the Aviva Premiership club at the end of the season.
Baxter confirmed the Namibian duo would be on their way soon, but said he did not know where they would be playing their rugby next season.
“They are not going to be at Exeter next year,” Baxter said. “At this stage I don’t know where they are going to be going next. I can’t really make any further comment at the moment other than that.”
A first-ever play-off place assured in the Aviva Premiership, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is now setting new targets for his side as a gripping top flight season heads into the final straight.
Alongside Saracens and Sunday’s visitors to Sandy Park, Wasps, the Chiefs are one of three confirmed play-off contenders with two rounds of the scheduled domestic campaign remaining.
Defending champions Saracens look likely to claim pole position following 22 rounds of action, but the battle for home advantage between the Chiefs and Wasps could well go to the wire if the Devon...
Chrysander Botha is targeting silverware this afternoon as the Exeter Braves look to lift the Aviva Premiership A League title for a second time.
Having comprehensively brushed aside Newcastle Falcons 48-15 in last Monday’s semi-final at Sandy Park, Ricky Pellow’s side will again have home advantage when they face Northampton Wanderers (3:30pm).
The Namibian international lines up in a Braves side that shows just one change to that of a week ago. Prop Alex Brown comes into the starting line-up at tight-head as previous incumbent Carl Rimmer was used as a replacement in...
