A total of 950,000 Rugby World Cup 2015 tickets were sold in the September general sale, with record levels of demand for tickets for pool and knock-out stage matches. Tickets were on general sale from September 12-29, and England Rugby 2015 received applications for more than five million tickets, leading to demand exceeding supply at every price category for 23 of the 48 matches. Ballots were run earlier this week for matches and price points where demand for tickets exceeded supply, and ballots were held for at least one price point in every one of the 48 matches. Rugby fans will be...
Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell says he is "over the moon" after he was named in Stuart Lancaster's 33-man England squad for the upcoming QBE Autumn Internationals.
The talented Cornishman is Exeter's sole representative in the England party, who over the course of November will tackle world champions New Zealand (Nov 8), South Africa (Nov 15), Samoa (Nov 22) and Australia (Nov 29).
For Nowell, his inclusion offers him the chance to add to his current tally of five international caps, all of which were gained during this year's Six Nations campaign.
The Exeter Chiefs will be swapping their rugby boots for walking shoes next May, as they pledge to take part in popular fundraising event the Exeter Foundation Big Walk.
The 10-mile sponsored walk, which last year raised thousands for the Exeter Foundation, returns on May 2nd 2015.
Sponsored by South West Communications, Northcott Beaton, Santander and The Landrover Experience, The Big Walk starts and finishes at recently reopened Sandy Park, and takes in a flat, scenic route through the River Exe Valley.
The Big Walk is open to anyone aged over 12, although there...
For 100 years they have gone somewhat unnoticed, but 12 former Exeter Rugby Club players and officials are to be officially remembered with a new commemorative plaque at Sandy Park.
The lives of the forgotten few will be highlighted in a special memorial service which will take place at the stadium on Armistice Day, Tuesday 11 November, at 10.30am.
For years, Exeter Rugby Club have proudly displayed within the County Suite a memorial plaque of the names of those former players who paid the ultimate sacrifice during the Second World War. However, new information supplied to...
With Exeter Chiefs poised to begin the defence of their LV= Cup crown next month, the club can today confirm they will be carrying out a special ticket offer for their upcoming clash with Bath Rugby in the competition.
As it will be Remembrance Week, the Chiefs will once again be recognising the efforts of all our Armed Forces and Emergency Services by staging a special match-day in their honour on Saturday, November 8.
For the Bath fixture, which will kick-off at the later time of 4.30pm to avoid a clash with England's Autumn international against world champions New...
The new look Sandy Park was reopened in style following its £10 million refurbishment with an impressive gala dinner for over 600 people.
Award-winning Sandy Park’s Grand Reopening showcased the newly extended building with its state-of-the-art conference facilities, which has nearly doubled in size since building work began in January.
England Rugby World Cup winner and British Lions star Will Greenwood (pictured) headed a star-studded line-up at the Grand Reopening, which also featured former cricketer Peter Bowler and comedian Bob Webb.
Henry Slade insists he and his Exeter Chiefs are prepared to go to "dark places" in a bid to see off their Aviva Premiership rivals.
With three victories from four starts already this season, Slade was again at the heart of Exeter's latest success story as he helped himself to a maiden Premiership try and two penalties in the Devon club's 36-13 win over Harlequins at Sandy Park.
Alongside fellow young gun Sam Hill in the Exeter midfield, the 21-year-old back has enjoyed a stellar start to the 2014/15 campaign, producing a string of impressive on-field displays that have had...
Rob Baxter’s calls for Exeter Chiefs to re-establish their Sandy Park fortress were well and truly answered as his side swot aside the attentions of visiting Harlequins.
Having only won two of their last nine league games on their own turf and just seven out of 17 matches in all competitions in the last 12 months, the Chiefs could not have picked a better time to rediscover the winning formula.
From start to finish, Baxter’s braves had too much for their rivals.
Thomas Waldrom, Jack Yeandle and Henry Slade all crossed for tries, whilst the boots of Slade and Gareth...
Exeter Chiefs welcome back Jack Nowell and Phil Dollman into their starting line-up for Sunday’s Aviva Premiership clash with Harlequins at Sandy Park (2pm).
Both Nowell and Dollman appeared off the bench in last week’s 25-22 win at Gloucester, but head coach Rob Baxter is keen to see the duo in action from the outset as the Chiefs look to record a third win in four starts this season.
England international Nowell has not started a league game since he injured a shoulder during Exeter’s defeat at Leicester Tigers last March, while Dollman has also had to sit on the...
