Exeter Chiefs' head coach Rob Baxter says his team will have to produce a "big performance" if they are to overcome defending champions Harlequins in their latest Aviva Premiership fixture tomorrow (3pm).

Undone 30-8 at Leicester Tigers a week ago, Baxter is hoping for an immediate riposte from his side as they prepare to welcome Conor O'Shea's men to Sandy Park for the third time in the top flight.

Like the Chiefs, Harlequins also came unstuck last time out, losing their unbeaten tag...

Townson joins Chiefs coaching staff

Glen Townson has joined Exeter Chiefs as the men’s assistant forwards coach.

Formerly the academy transition coach with Bristol Bears, the former lock forward makes the move to Chiefs having been in his transition role with Bears since September 2022.

Townson said: “It has been a real ambition of mine to be a Gallagher PREM coach, and to get the chance to do it at the Chiefs, one of the most successful clubs in the last decade, a club with rich history, was an opportunity I had to take.

Ricky Pellow has made the decision to leave the Exeter Chiefs coaching team after 16 seasons to spend more time with his family and explore other career opportunities.

The proud Cornishman joined Chiefs in 2009 as skills coach after retiring from his playing career during which he played scrum-half for Cornish Pirates and Worcester Warriors.

Pellow said: “I’ve had 16 amazing years here at the club, so it’s an emotional decision to leave but it is one that enables me and my family to experience a new adventure.

“I’ve made some unbelievable memories as a Chief....

Inequality for female rugby players as 89 per cent have discomfort from boots

Eighty-nine per cent of female rugby players who took part in a new study experience pain or discomfort from the boots they’re wearing.

With the Women’s Rugby World Cup currently taking place in England – including games at Sandy Park in Exeter - new research from the University of Exeter, in partnership with IDA Sports and backed by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), found many female athletes still face inequality in footwear, which can lead to injuries.

The findings have been used to develop the first ever soft ground boot specifically for female players. The boot is...

Chudley calls for more of the same

Will Chudley says Exeter Chiefs can’t afford to show the stars of Clermont Auvergne too much respect in Saturday’s European Champions Cup showdown.

One of the heavyweights of world rugby, Clermont currently lead the Top 14 standings and were beaten finalists in last season’s European Champions Cup after losing to Toulon.

Exeter head into the clash with Franck Azéma’s glittering squad knowing that defeat at Sandy Park without so much as a bonus point would leave their European campaign in dire straits.

But Chudley, whose form at scrum-half has been an integral part...
