Chiefs side to face Worcester Warriors

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter insists his side must take full advantage of home comforts as they look to book a place in the Aviva Premiership play-offs for the first time in the club’s history.

With just four rounds of the scheduled season, the Chiefs - who lie second in the standings - have two home and two away fixtures in which to tie down one of the key top four spots.

The first of those four tests comes tomorrow when the Devon club play host to in-form Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park (3pm).

And it’s a fixture Baxter is clearly relishing as he looks to...

Winning start for Turner at Chiefs

Lachie Turner insists it’s “onwards and upwards” for him after he made his Exeter Chiefs debut in Sunday’s Aviva Premiership clash with Northampton Saints at Sandy Park.

The Australian international was a late call-up at full-back in place of the injured Phil Dollman, but he certainly didn’t look out of place on his first outing as he helped Rob Baxter’s side move to the top of the table following their 20-12 victory.

Five penalties from the boot of fly-half Gareth Steenson and a second half try from winger Olly Woodburn proved enough for the Devon club, who had earlier...

Steeno's magic boot strikes again

A record-breaker last week, a headline-maker this week – it’s all in a day’s work for Exeter Chiefs star Gareth Steenson.

Not for the first time in his illustrious Chiefs career, the Irishman’s right boot again proved lethal, downing visiting Northampton Saints to keep Rob Baxter’s side firmly in the picture at the top end of the Aviva Premiership.

Having broke the game’s deadlock with an early kick, Steenson then slotted four second half penalties to go alongside Olly Woodburn’s fourth try of the season.

Northampton, who won the corresponding fixture 8-3 back on...

Diners treated to culinary masterclass

Diners were treated to another culinary masterclass as Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines MBE joined forces with Sandy Park Head Chef Denis Turner for a mouth-watering Gourmet Evening at Sandy Park.

Held in aid of the official Exeter Chiefs’ Charity, the Exeter Foundation, the evening raised a staggering £3,750 and once again highlighted the work of the charity to the assembled guests.

Back by popular demand, the five-course dining experience saw Michael and Dennis work closely with Level Three students from Michael’s very own academy, Restaurant 34 at Exeter College, as...

Hunter pleased with Chiefs' composure

Exeter Chiefs forwards coach Rob Hunter praised his side’s composure as they finally swot aside the attentions of visiting Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership.

For at least an hour at Sandy Park, the lowly visitors were happy to match the Chiefs blow for blow as they cancelled out tries from Thomas Waldrom and Phil Dollman with converted scores of their own through Sonatane Takulua and Nili Latu.

However, the Chiefs refused to panic and in a powerful conclusion to the match, they not only wrapped up victory, but they also ensured themselves of he all-important bonus...

Chiefs grind out a victory

This wasn’t the vintage, high-octane rugby we’ve seen at other times this season from Exeter Chiefs, but nevertheless the five precious points Rob Baxter’s side picked up were celebrated just as much, if not better.

Devon’s finest ground out their 11th league win of the season against a gutsy Newcastle Falcons outfit who, for at least an hour at Sandy Park, matched their higher-placed rivals toe-to-toe.

In the end, the Chiefs had just too much in their attacking arsenal for Dean Richards’ side and netted another maximum haul courtesy of Elvis Taione’s late score.

Geoff Parling knows what it takes to be a winner, particularly in the Aviva Premiership, and today he will be helping lead the charge as Exeter Chiefs aim to maintain their lofty status against Newcastle Falcons at Sandy Park (3pm).

Heading into Round 16 of the competition, the Devon club are sitting pretty in second place, just three behind leaders Saracens and five ahead of Leicester Tigers in third.

However, the 32-year-old forward knows this is the ‘business end’ of the season and results are even more important as club jockey for key positions at the end of the season...
