Irishman Ian Whitten insists Exeter Chiefs can ill afford a slow start when they tackle local rivals Bath in Saturday's Aviva Premiership derby at Sandy Park (3.15pm).
Last Saturday it was Exeter's first half display which ultimately came back to bite them as they went down narrowly 17-16 against league leaders Northampton Saints.
And not for the first time this season, 26-year-old Whitten and his team-mates were left bemoaning a disappointing first 40 minutes as a key fault in their game plan.
“It seems to be a repeat thing against the top sides, we seem to sit...
The chance to be wined and dined alongside members of the Exeter Chiefs first team squad certainly proved a smash hit as over 300 females descended on Sandy Park for the latest Ladies Night (Thursday 30 January).
In a fun-filled evening at the home of the Aviva Premiership club, party-goers not only got the chance to be in the company of the Chiefs players for a night, but they were royally entertained with musical performances from both Adam Isaac and Riccardo, as well as getting the chance to dance the night away with Danny’s Disco.
Exeter Chiefs forwards coach Rob Hunter praised his side as they alive their hopes of qualification in this season’s LV= Cup with a 36-22 victory over the Ospreys at Sandy Park.
Tries from Luke Cowan-Dickie (2), James Scaysbrook, James Phillips and Don Armand were the highlights for the Devon club, whilst skipper Ceri Sweeney weighed in with the remainder of the points.
The Ospreys, who countered with four tries of their own through Daffyd Howells, Morgan Allen, Matthew Jenkins and Tom Grabham, played their part in an entertaining tussle.
Rob Baxter wants his Exeter Chiefs side to wrap up their Heineken Cup campaign in style when they travel to Cardiff Blues in tomorrow's final Pool Two fixture at the Arms Park (3.40pm). With European qualification hopes of any kind all but extinguished with last weekend's 15-10 home loss against Glasgow Warriors, the Chiefs are still determined to prove their worth in European Rugby's top cup competition and record a notable double over the star-studded Blues. At Sandy Park in October, Baxter's men produced a devastating first 40 minutes to blow aside the Welsh region. Not only was the all...
Exeter Chiefs may not have finished 2013 as they would have hoped, but already skipper Dean Mumm is aiming to start the New Year with a bang.
Just days after coming unstuck 22-6 to Harlequins in Big Game 6 at a packed Twickenham, the experienced Aussie forward already has his sights set on Sunday's Aviva Premiership trip to London Wasps (3pm).
Determined to get Devon's finest back amongst the division's leading pack, Mumm says it's vital he and his team-mates respond in the right way at Adams Park.
“Sunday’s game certainly takes on greater importance now,” said Mumm...

They say that cream always rises to the top and so it proved as Jonny Wilkinson put the seal on a hard fought 14-9 victory for reigning Heineken Cup champions Toulon over hosts Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park.
Just over ten years have elapsed since the talented playmaker dropped a goal in Sydney to win England their first and only Rugby World Cup.
Present day in Devon and the 34-year-old was at it again as his late three-pointer ensured the star-studded Frenchman escaped with a slender advantage over their industrious Westcountry hosts.
