Backs coach Ali Hepher is expecting a much-improved display from his Exeter Chiefs side as they continue the defence of their LV= Cup crown against arch rivals Bath Rugby tomorrow (4.30pm).
Last season’s champions kicked-off their campaign a week ago by claiming a narrow 28-27 victory over Gloucester at Sandy Park, but it could easily have been different had visiting fly-half Aled Thomas not failed with a last minute penalty chance.
As It was, Thomas’ long-range effort cannoned back off the posts and the Chiefs were able to toast a winning start against the Cherry &...
Exeter Chiefs newcomer Byron McGuigan says he is “excited” by the challenges that lie ahead after he today confirmed his move to the Aviva Premiership club.
The 25-year-old, who has previously played for Border Bulldogs, Glasgow Warriors and, more recently, Bay of Plenty in New Zealand’s ITM Cup, has agreed a short-term contract with the Chiefs until the end of the current campaign.
McGuigan is the latest addition to the playing ranks at Sandy Park after head coach Rob Baxter previously indicated he was keen to bolster his options, particularly in the back three.
On Halloween weekend, Exeter Chiefs served up their supporters a timely treat as they kicked off the defence of their LV= Cup crown with a thrilling 28-27 victory over rivals Gloucester at Sandy Park.
A converted penalty try – two minutes from time – proved the difference on the day, although the visiting Cherry & Whites could easily have stolen it had Aled Thomas not seen a penalty chance cannon back of the posts with the very last kick of the game.
In what was a pulsating encounter throughout, the Chiefs sealed victory thanks to...
Ricky Pellow expects to see a real hunger amongst his Exeter Chiefs side as they look to kick off the defence of their LV= Cup crown with victory over Gloucester tomorrow (3pm). In what was a memorable campaign for the Devon club last season, the Chiefs collected their first piece of major silverware when they sunk Northampton Saints 15-8 at their own Sandy Park home back in March. This weekend, however, it all begins again for the Chiefs and Pellow, who has again been entrusted as head coach for the competition. As has become the norm in recent years for the club, youth will again get it'...
Dean Mumm says the opportunity is there for him and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates to go out and “start making new memories” ahead of the club’s defence of their LV= Cup crown this weekend.
It was back in March that the Australian international had the honour of lifting Exeter’s first piece of major silverware when the Chiefs defeated Northampton Saints on their own Sandy Park turf.
Skipper Mumm grabbed one of two tries on the day, the other going to hooker Chris Whitehead, as Rob Baxter’s claimed a memorable 15-8 victory.
Gareth Steenson insists there is still "more to come" from him despite landing another milestone in his illustrious Exeter Chiefs career. Steenson's eight-point haul in last weekend's European Challenge Cup victory over Connacht not only helped his side move to the top of Pool Two, but it also took him past 1,500 career points for the Devon club. Now into his seventh season at Sandy Park, the Dungannon-born star has played an integral part in the recent rise of the Chiefs. His metronomic right boot has not only helped to down teams across England and Europe, but it's helped pin-point Rob...
Exeter Chiefs moved to the top of Pool Two in this season’s European Rugby Challenge Cup with an impressive five-try victory over visiting Connacht.
Rob Baxter’s side put to bed the disappointment of defeat to Bayonne seven days earlier by producing a ruthless display that swot aside the attentions of the visiting Irish province.
First half tries from Will Chudley, Henry Slade and Damian Welch set them on course for victory before man-of-the-match Dave Ewers and Ben White got in on the act during the second period.
Irish fly-half Gareth Steenson plundered four of...
Rob Hunter believes Exeter Chiefs will deliver a rapid response this weekend as they look to get their European Challenge Cup campaign back on track against visiting Connacht tomorrow (3pm).
Undone at the death by a late try from Bayonne’s Lisiate Fa’aoso a week ago, the Chiefs are looking to put to bed the disappointing 30-24 loss at the Stade Jean Dauger by delivering a powerful display on home soil.
Already this term Harlequins and London Irish have been accounted for at Sandy Park in the Aviva Premiership, whilst Leicester Tigers were pushed all the way in the other...

Exeter Chiefs winger Jack Nowell says he is "over the moon" after he was named in Stuart Lancaster's 33-man England squad for the upcoming QBE Autumn Internationals.
The talented Cornishman is Exeter's sole representative in the England party, who over the course of November will tackle world champions New Zealand (Nov 8), South Africa (Nov 15), Samoa (Nov 22) and Australia (Nov 29).
For Nowell, his inclusion offers him the chance to add to his current tally of five international caps, all of which were gained during this year's Six Nations campaign.
