Aussie addition pleases Baxter

Rob Baxter admits he sees a lot of similarities in new signing Dave Dennis to that of former Exeter Chiefs skipper Dean Mumm.

It was back in 2012 that Baxter brought Australian international Mumm to Sandy Park from Super Rugby outfit NSW Waratahs.

Three years later and Mumm departed Sandy Park as somewhat of a club legend, having made quite an impression during his time in Devon with the Chiefs.

Now back in Sydney, Exeter’s former talisman - who helped lift the LV= Cup back in 2014 - has played his part in helping to persuade 30-year-old Dennis to follow a similar...

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has again gone ‘Down Under’ in his pursuit of adding new talent for the 2016/17 season.

Having already recruited experienced Australian international prop Greg Holmes from the Queensland Reds, now Baxter is adding another Wallaby to the club’s playing roster with the acquisition of Dave Dennis from the NSW Waratahs.

The all-action forward, who is equally at home either at lock or in the back-row, has penned a three-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club.

The arrival of Dennis, who has been capped 18 times by the Wallabies, is...

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is backing his squad to show their strength in what will be a gruelling run of fixtures for all 12 clubs in this season’s Aviva Premiership.

Today's (SUNDAY) trip to Worcester Warriors marks the start of ten, unrelenting weeks of top-flight action for the Chiefs, who currently sit second in the standings and have just booked themselves a place in the last eight of the European Champions Cup for the first time.

There will be some out there who would look at the challenge ahead with an air of intrepidation, but not Baxter who, like his...

Baxter's joy as Stevenson makes Exeter return

Rob Baxter admits the return of Lewis Stevenson to Sandy Park “ticks a lot of boxes” for him as Exeter Chiefs look to advance over the course of the season. With both Damian Welch (pec) and Mitch Lees (bicep) set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines following injuries sustained, Baxter has found his options in the Exeter engine room becoming somewhat stretched in recent weeks.

Keen to bolster his playing stock, the Chiefs head coach today spoke of his delight at capturing the 31-year-old forward, who made 62 appearances for Exeter during a two-year stay 2007 and 2009.

Stevenson heads back to the Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs have today welcomed back Irishman Lewis Stevenson to the Aviva Premiership club on a deal until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old forward, who spent two seasons at Sandy Park between 2007 and 2009, returns to the Westcountry from Guinness Pro 12 outfit Ulster Rugby.

With Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter keen to bolster his second row options following significant injuries to Damian Welch and Mitch Lees in recent weeks, the arrival of Stevenson could not be better timed as the Devon club look to push on both in the Premiership and European Champions Cup....

Chiefs side to face Ospreys

Advancing into the last eight of Europe may seem a tall order for the Exeter Chiefs, but head coach Rob Baxter is refusing to give up hope and wants his side to finish their Pool Two programme on a high against the Ospreys today (Sunday) at Sandy Park (3:15pm).

Last Saturday’s 34-27 reverse away to Bordeaux-Begles means the Chiefs need to accrue maximum reward against the Welsh region this weekend, whilst hope results elsewhere in France between Clermont-Auvergne and Bordeaux-Begles fall in the right direction for them.

Whatever the outcome, Baxter’s side will once again...

Baxter poised to bolster Chiefs squad

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has admitted he is hoping to bolster his playing squad over the coming weeks as they brace themselves for a relentless run of fixtures in the Aviva Premiership.

With the Devon club somewhat hamstrung with a series of long-term injuries to a number of their key players, Baxter’s cause is set to be further hampered with the potential loss of others to call-ups in the upcoming Six Nations Championship.

Baxter has said the situation is far from ideal and it appears he’s now set to act, confirming in this week’s media briefing that he is...

Euro cyclists raise over £20,000 for local charities

For the people of Bordeaux they didn’t quite know what was going on, but the sight of over 300 Devonians lining the streets, banging their drums and bellowing out the ‘Tomahawk Chop’ was somewhat different for a Friday afternoon. It was, however, the greeting afforded to the 22 intrepid cyclists as they cruised their way into the entrance of the Stade Chaban Delmas at the end of the Exeter European Cycle Challenge. Six days after leaving Sandy Park, the group were afforded a rapturous welcome from Exeter Chiefs’ players, staff and supporters alike as they marked the end of their mammoth...
