Exeter Chiefs fly-half Gareth Steenson says his side are fully focused, as they prepare their visit to Wasps in the European Champions Cup Quarter final.

Steenson has been ever present in the Chiefs rise in recent years and has praised the hard work of the club, which has seen them qualify for their first European quater-final.

He said: “We’ve worked really hard to get into this position, it’s a fixture we’re really looking forward to.”

The Irishman says the Sandy Park club are confident going into the match, against a very much in form Waps side, particularly after...

Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell is looking to use England’s Six Nations Grand Slam victory to help steer the club to glory.

The 22-year-old was a key player for England, as Eddie Jones' side stormed to victory last month, and Nowell feels the experience will better him in the future.

Talking ahead of Chiefs highly anticipated European Champions Cup Quarter-final with Wasps, he said: “Playing in front of big crowds in high pressure situations and must-win games will benefit me when coming back here to play in the Quarter-finals.”

Ruthless in it’s extreme, Exeter Chiefs fired an ominous warning shot to their Aviva Premiership rivals as they edged ever closer to a first-ever appearance in the end of season play-offs.

Rob Baxter’s produced arguably their best display in weeks to run in eight tries against in-form Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park.

The free-scoring Thomas Waldrom extended his lead at the top of the division’s try pile with his second treble of the season, while winger Olly Woodburn added three of his own alongside further scores from James Short and Ollie Atkins.

Fly-half Gareth...

Chiefs side to face Worcester Warriors

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter insists his side must take full advantage of home comforts as they look to book a place in the Aviva Premiership play-offs for the first time in the club’s history.

With just four rounds of the scheduled season, the Chiefs - who lie second in the standings - have two home and two away fixtures in which to tie down one of the key top four spots.

The first of those four tests comes tomorrow when the Devon club play host to in-form Worcester Warriors at Sandy Park (3pm).

And it’s a fixture Baxter is clearly relishing as he looks to...

Thomas Waldrom says he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates won’t allow Saturday’s Aviva Premiership loss at Saracens to define their season.

The Devon club surrendered top spot in the table after being undone 36-18 by the defending champions at Allianz Park.

Mark McCall’s side produced an impressive display - particularly against the elements in the first half - to leapfrog their rivals and assume pole position with just four rounds of the scheduled season remaining.

For the first time sink Bath in December 2014, the Chiefs failed to pick up any reward from their...

Saracens prove too strong for Chiefs

Saracens regained pole position in the race for the Aviva Premiership end of season play-offs by sinking visiting Exeter Chiefs with a five-try salvo at Allianz Park.

The defending champions – swelled by the return of their England contingent following recent Grand Slam heroics – hit top gear to swot aside the attentions of Rob Baxter’s side, who for the first time this season ended a league game without any reward.

Fly-half Owen Farrell led the way for the home side, helping himself to a 14-point haul, whilst also on the mark were Red Rose colleagues Alex Goode and Billy...

Rob Baxter knows his table-topping Exeter Chiefs side are there to be shot at by those chasing similar play-off aspirations in this season’s Aviva Premiership, but it’s a challenge he and his team are clearly relishing with just a handful of games remaining in the scheduled programme.

The Devon club leapfrogged tomorrow’s hosts Saracens to the summit courtesy of last weekend’s 20-12 victory over Northampton Saints and their credentials will be put firmly to the test this weekend by the defending champions, who will be swelled by the return of all of their Six Nations stars....
