Having taken an age to claim their first victory over Bath in the professional era last season, Exeter Chiefs made it back-to-back successes against their arch rivals as they maintained their unbeaten start to this season’s LV= Cup campaign.
It was back in March – at the 12th time of asking – that Rob Baxter’s side finally banished their Bath bogey when they claimed a 22-19 semi-final victory at the Recreation Ground.
Not only did the result ensure the Devon club booked a home final – which they would win a week later for their first piece of major silverware – but it...
Ben White is hoping Exeter Chiefs can maintain their impressive home record this season by adding the name of Bath Rugby to those who have come unstuck at Sandy Park.
With the exception of Leicester Tigers, who edged a narrow encounter in Devon back in September, the Chiefs have seen off all before them on home soil, including the likes of Harlequins, London Irish, Connacht and, more recently, Gloucester in the LV= Cup.
Aussie forward White recognises having a solid home base will be a key feature for the Chiefs this season and says another victory this Saturday will help...

Exeter Chiefs newcomer Byron McGuigan says he is “excited” by the challenges that lie ahead after he today confirmed his move to the Aviva Premiership club.
The 25-year-old, who has previously played for Border Bulldogs, Glasgow Warriors and, more recently, Bay of Plenty in New Zealand’s ITM Cup, has agreed a short-term contract with the Chiefs until the end of the current campaign.
McGuigan is the latest addition to the playing ranks at Sandy Park after head coach Rob Baxter previously indicated he was keen to bolster his options, particularly in the back three.
On Halloween weekend, Exeter Chiefs served up their supporters a timely treat as they kicked off the defence of their LV= Cup crown with a thrilling 28-27 victory over rivals Gloucester at Sandy Park.
A converted penalty try – two minutes from time – proved the difference on the day, although the visiting Cherry & Whites could easily have stolen it had Aled Thomas not seen a penalty chance cannon back of the posts with the very last kick of the game.
In what was a pulsating encounter throughout, the Chiefs sealed victory thanks to...
Dean Mumm says the opportunity is there for him and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates to go out and “start making new memories” ahead of the club’s defence of their LV= Cup crown this weekend.
It was back in March that the Australian international had the honour of lifting Exeter’s first piece of major silverware when the Chiefs defeated Northampton Saints on their own Sandy Park turf.
Skipper Mumm grabbed one of two tries on the day, the other going to hooker Chris Whitehead, as Rob Baxter’s claimed a memorable 15-8 victory.
Gareth Steenson insists there is still "more to come" from him despite landing another milestone in his illustrious Exeter Chiefs career. Steenson's eight-point haul in last weekend's European Challenge Cup victory over Connacht not only helped his side move to the top of Pool Two, but it also took him past 1,500 career points for the Devon club. Now into his seventh season at Sandy Park, the Dungannon-born star has played an integral part in the recent rise of the Chiefs. His metronomic right boot has not only helped to down teams across England and Europe, but it's helped pin-point Rob...
Exeter Chiefs moved to the top of Pool Two in this season’s European Rugby Challenge Cup with an impressive five-try victory over visiting Connacht.
Rob Baxter’s side put to bed the disappointment of defeat to Bayonne seven days earlier by producing a ruthless display that swot aside the attentions of the visiting Irish province.
First half tries from Will Chudley, Henry Slade and Damian Welch set them on course for victory before man-of-the-match Dave Ewers and Ben White got in on the act during the second period.
Irish fly-half Gareth Steenson plundered four of...
