Just as he was the scourge of England during the Rugby World Cup, so Welshman Dan Biggar did the same to Exeter Chiefs on their competitive return to the Champions Cup.
The Ospreys fly-half was the mastermind behind the Welsh region’s success story, plundering five penalties, a drop-goal and even converting a late try from former Exeter player Josh Matavesi.
Even then Biggar – who was named Heineken Man of the Match – could afford to miss three further chances afforded to him by the Chiefs, who fell foul of Italian referee Marius Mitrea on far too many occasions.
Exeter Chiefs switch from domestic duties to that of Europe this weekend as they mark their first outing in the Champions Cup with an away day at Ospreys today (5:30pm).
After three successive victories in the Aviva Premiership, Rob Baxter’s side will be looking to continue their good form against the Welsh region at the Liberty Stadium.
It’s some two years since Devon’s finest last mixed it with Europe’s elite - facing the likes of Glasgow Warriors, Cardiff Blues and back-to-back winners, RC Toulon in the old Heineken Cup - and their re-introduction this year promises to...

Exeter Chiefs players past and present, together with leading club officials, members of the Armed Forces and supporters formed the congregation for a special 'Armistice Day' service held at Sandy Park. Conducted by club chaplain Simon Atkinson, the 45-minute Service of Remembrance paid tribute to those former club players - and other servicemen and women around the world - who had paid the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts around the world. For years, Exeter Rugby Club have proudly displayed within the County Suite a memorial plaque of the names of those former players who paid the ultimate...
Supporters of the Exeter Chiefs can do their bit to boost the funds of the Exeter Foundation with a new initiative launched by the club.
We know there are occasions where season ticket holders, Gold Card and 1905 members are unable to attend a match-day game at Sandy Park.
That means places are occasionally empty within the stands, so the Exeter Foundation – the club’s official charity – are appealing for you to donate a ticket to the Foundation.
All money raised from the re-sale of these tickets will be donated back into the Foundation and later distributed amongst...
It’s four years since Exeter Chiefs last got the better of Leicester Tigers, but the strides that have been made in that time were there for all to see at Sandy Park. Rob Baxter’s ‘Class of 2015’ underlined their ever-growing promise with a workmanlike display from start to finish.
Skipper Gareth Steenson landed the killer blows for the home side, converting his own first half try to go alongside four successful penalties.
Opposite number Owen Williams countered with two penalties of his own, but it was never enough for English rugby’s most decorated club Fresh from their...
Rob Baxter believes today's visit of Leicester Tigers will provide the ‘acid test’ for his Exeter Chiefs side so far this season.
In what has been an encouraging start to the new Aviva Premiership season for Devon’s finest, this Round Four match-up promises to be their toughest assignment so far.
England’s most decorated club will arrive in the Westcountry not only boasting a Premiership record of eight wins in ten starts against the Chiefs, but they are also one of only two clubs, the other is Saracens, who have yet to taste defeat this term.
British Sausage Week is now well underway, inviting the nation to celebrate one of our favourite comfort foods.
Exeter-based Andrew James butchery has got stuck in to Sausage Week, turning bangers to bucks for charity with the Exeter Chiefs.
When the Exeter Chiefs take on the Leicester Tigers on 7 November at Sandy Park, 50p from every sausage eaten during the match will be donated to the Exeter Foundation.
Fans will be able to warm up with on of Andrew James’s premium sausages whilst enjoying the feel-good factor of supporting a local charity.

Don Armand believes Exeter Chiefs underlined what they are capable of this season with Sunday's impressive victory over Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership.
Rob Baxter's side followed up their impressive home win over London Irish with an equally destructive display in the North East, sinking the Falcons with a six-try blast in their 41-3 success.
Back-row forward Armand helped lead the way for the Westcountry outfit as he scored two tries on the day in a man-of-the-match performance, which also yielded tries for Will Chudley, Julian Salvi, Matt Jess and Moray Low...
