Sandy Park

It's a term Rob Baxter insists he will use a lot this season, but the Exeter Chiefs head coach says "enjoyment" is very much part and parcel of his side's long-term make-up.

Devon's finest return to Aviva Premiership action tomorrow night at Gloucester determined to get back on track immediately following their narrow loss at home to Leicester Tigers last Saturday.

In a performance which Baxter described post-match as somewhat "frustrating" - the Chiefs leader knows not a lot needs tinkering with to ensure his side can get over the finishing line against the division's top...

Ian Whitten believes a more clinical approach from the Exeter Chiefs is key if they are to topple the elite sides in this season’s Aviva Premiership.

Not for the first time in his playing career at Sandy Park, the 27-year-old Irishman saw his side fall just short of overcoming one of English rugby’s leading lights as they went down 24-20 to Leicester Tigers last Saturday.

In a theme similar to that of several encounters last season, the Chiefs failed to hold onto their half-time advantage and it was the Tigers who came back to claim a vital away-day win.

Now,...

Exeter Chiefs star Jack Nowell says he has never "felt so good" on a rugby pitch after he marked his return to competitive action by claiming a try-double in Monday night's A League victory over London Welsh.

The England international has been sidelined since March with injuries to both his shoulder and knee, but he showed within minutes of his return that he was firing on all cylinders and itching to return to first team duty.

The Cornishman featured for 34 minutes as the Exeter Braves - who also added tries through Ceri Sweeney, Tom James, Jack Arnott, Sam Skinner and...

Not for the first time in their illustrious history, Leicester Tigers played the role of ‘party poopers’ as they came from behind to sink hosts Exeter Chiefs.

As Devon’s finest opened their doors for the first time since the multi-million pound redevelopment of Sandy Park this summer, it was the boot of England international Freddie Burns that ultimately guided his side to success in Devon.

The summer signing from Gloucester has wasted little time in settling into his new surroundings and his 11-point haul, together with tries from Anthony Allen and Ben Youngs, plus a late...

Exeter Chiefs newcomer Thomas Waldrom says the Devon club can ill afford to take a backward step when they lock horns with his former club Leicester Tigers this Saturday at Sandy Park (3.15pm). Having departed the East Midlands this summer for a new start in the Westcountry, the experienced No.8 wasted little time in making his mark for Rob Baxter's side, scoring two tries on his league debut in Exeter's 52-0 thumping of newly-promoted London Welsh. It was a dream start not only for Waldrom and the Chiefs, but the England international knows a much stiffer test awaits his new club when the...

Exeter Chiefs are ready to hit new heights in the 2014/15 season after the club confirmed a new two-year sponsorship deal with Europe’s largest regional airline Flybe.

This will see the Exeter-based airline continuing its branding sponsorship with the Chiefs, that will now include appearing on the official playing shirts for the first time as the team competes again for Aviva Premiership honours.

Embarking on a fifth season of working together, the agreement helps underline the continued sponsorship Flybe has given to the Chiefs since their promotion into English rugby's...

Here's the new squad ready to face the new season, on a new pitch.

Rob Baxter's new-look team open their campaign at newly-promoted London Welsh on Sunday before taking on the Leicester Tigers at home the following Saturday.

After a multi-million pound revamp, Sandy Park promises to be even bigger and better for those heading to the region’s premier sporting club this season.

And from as little as £330 for adults; £200 for students and £165 for children under-16, you can guarantee your place in certain sections of the South West Communications Stand – at a reduction...

This is the sight that awaits Exeter Chiefs fans when they arrive at Sandy Park for the first game of the season next Saurday.

Work has been continuing late into the night to ensure the multi-miliion pound improvement works are complete.

The west stand has been extended, the east stand now has terracing and the pitch is a mixture of grass and a state-of-the art synthetic material.

Sandy Park will be one of the best stadiums in the Aviva Premiership thanks to the summer investment.

The Chiefs kick off their Premiership campaign against the Leicester Tigers...

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has confirmed Pat Phibbs is to return to the club on trial with immediate effect.

The Australian scrum-half signed for London Irish on a two-year deal in February 2013 but was released this summer after breaking a foot in pre-season last year.

However, pre-season knocks to Dave Lewis and Will Chudley have meant Baxter is keen to ensure there is sufficient cover for the start of the new Aviva Premiership season, which gets underway this Sunday with a trip to newly-promoted London Welsh (2pm).

Lewis is currently sidelined with an...
