Rob Baxter admits there is real excitement in and around the Exeter Chiefs camp as they gear up for tomorrow’s crunch Aviva Premiership encounter with Wasps.
Devon’s finest will head to the Ricoh Arena looking not to maintain their lofty placing within the division’s top two, but at the same time inflict another telling blow on one of their potential rivals for a play-off place this term.
Like the Chiefs, Wasps are themselves in a rich vein of form and with an equally proud home record – they’ve only lost twice at their Coventry base since moving their a year ago – it has...

Rob Baxter has spent this week reminding his Exeter Chiefs players to make home advantage tell in their quest for honours this season.
With just two home defeats in 14 months, the term ‘fortress’ has been touted loud and proud by many observers, including those within the Sandy Park corridors.
The impressive run of form has not only helped to secure vital points within the Aviva Premiership and progression within various cup competitions for the Devon club, but it’s also been the foundation from which Baxter has been able to build for the future.
It’s not been quite the same whirlwind start to the season as it was 12 months ago for Thomas Waldrom, but the Exeter Chiefs forward isn’t complaining as long as the Devon club continue to produce the winning formula.
England international Waldrom enjoyed an amazing first year in Chiefs colours, scoring 16 tries in total following his move from Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers.
His tally ensured he not only finished top of the touchdown pile for Rob Baxter’s side, but he was also crowned the first forward since Neil Back in 1999 to be the Premiership’s top try-...
Defending champions Saracens Storm kicked off the defence of their Aviva Premiership A League crown by seeing off hosts Exeter Braves at Sandy Park.
Tries from Mike Ellery, Nathan Earle and Tom Whitely did much of the damage for the visitors, whose remaining points came courtesy of kicks from Baden Kerr and skipper Nils Mordt.
In reply, the Braves countered with tries of their own through Sam Simmonds and Byron McGuigan, whilst fly-half Will Hooley weighed in with a conversion and two penalties, alongside a late conversion from Joe Simmonds.

Exeter’s European escapades are back on track after the Chiefs returned to winning ways with a comfortable 34-19 victory over French visitors Bordeaux-Begles.
Rob Baxter’s side dominated for large periods in this Round Two encounter, running in four tries on the night courtesy of Olly Woodburn (2), Moray Low and Ian Whitten. England international Henry Slade landed the remainder of the points for the Aviva Premiership side, slotting four penalties and a conversion in an assured performance at fly-half.
Bordeaux – who were tasting Europe’s top competition for the first time...
Exeter Chiefs assistant coach Ali Hepher is confident he will see a response from his side as they look to get their European Champions Cup campaign up and running with victory over Bordeaux-Begles on Saturday night (21 November, ko 7:45pm).
Undone 25-13 by the Ospreys in Round One, the Chiefs know this latest match-up against their French visitors is vital if they are to stand any chance of progressing out of Pool Two this season.
The Chiefs have spent this past week reviewing in detail their disappointing display at the Liberty Stadium, one in which Hepher admitted the...
