Long-serving prop Ben Moon says Exeter Chiefs can ill afford to get caught up in the emotion of things as they prepare to face Saracens in tomorrow’s top of the table clash in the Aviva Premiership.
The Devonians will head to Allianz Park in buoyant mood having leapfrogged the defending champions into top spot following their 20-12 victory at home to Northampton Saints last Sunday.
That success, coupled with Sarries going down at Leicester Tigers the same day, meant Rob Baxter’s side moved to the summit of the table for the first time this season.

A record-breaker last week, a headline-maker this week – it’s all in a day’s work for Exeter Chiefs star Gareth Steenson.
Not for the first time in his illustrious Chiefs career, the Irishman’s right boot again proved lethal, downing visiting Northampton Saints to keep Rob Baxter’s side firmly in the picture at the top end of the Aviva Premiership.
Having broke the game’s deadlock with an early kick, Steenson then slotted four second half penalties to go alongside Olly Woodburn’s fourth try of the season.

With just five rounds of the scheduled Aviva Premiership remaining, Rob Baxter has challenged his Exeter Chiefs side to go “flat out” in their attempts to secure a place in the end of season play-offs.
Having occupied a position in the top two for much of the season, it’s these final few weeks where the Devonians can really underline their credentials, starting with a big performance against Northampton Saints at Sandy Park this Sunday (3pm).

Exeter Chiefs forwards coach Rob Hunter praised his side’s composure as they finally swot aside the attentions of visiting Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership.

This wasn’t the vintage, high-octane rugby we’ve seen at other times this season from Exeter Chiefs, but nevertheless the five precious points Rob Baxter’s side picked up were celebrated just as much, if not better.
Devon’s finest ground out their 11th league win of the season against a gutsy Newcastle Falcons outfit who, for at least an hour at Sandy Park, matched their higher-placed rivals toe-to-toe.
In the end, the Chiefs had just too much in their attacking arsenal for Dean Richards’ side and netted another maximum haul courtesy of Elvis Taione’s late score.
Rob Baxter welcomes Henry Slade back into the Exeter Chiefs mix for the first time since early December when he starts against Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership tomorrow (3pm). The England international has not figured for the Devon club since breaking his leg and damaging ankle ligaments in Exeter’s impressive away win at Wasps. However, the 22-year-old playmaker has worked tirelessly to return to full fitness and Baxter has wasted little time in recalling the Plymouth-born back to his starting line-up. Slade is one of seven changes the Chiefs have made to their side that went...

Heading into Round 16 of the competition, the Devon club are sitting pretty in second place, just three behind leaders Saracens and five ahead of Leicester Tigers in third.
