Henry Slade insists he and his Exeter Chiefs are prepared to go to "dark places" in a bid to see off their Aviva Premiership rivals.
With three victories from four starts already this season, Slade was again at the heart of Exeter's latest success story as he helped himself to a maiden Premiership try and two penalties in the Devon club's 36-13 win over Harlequins at Sandy Park.
Alongside fellow young gun Sam Hill in the Exeter midfield, the 21-year-old back has enjoyed a stellar start to the 2014/15 campaign, producing a string of impressive on-field displays that have had...
Thomas Waldrom says it's vital the Exeter Chiefs continue to keep moving forward after an encouraging start to the 2014/15 Aviva Premiership season.
The Chiefs notched up their third win in four starts on Sunday when they overcame Harlequins 36-13 at Sandy Park.
Summer signing Waldrom claimed Exeter's opening try at the weekend - and took his own season tally to three as he touched down alongside skipper Jack Yeandle and centre Henry Slade.
Fly-half Gareth Steenson added a further 15 points, whilst two more monster penalties from Slade helped to complete the job on...
Rob Baxter’s calls for Exeter Chiefs to re-establish their Sandy Park fortress were well and truly answered as his side swot aside the attentions of visiting Harlequins.
Having only won two of their last nine league games on their own turf and just seven out of 17 matches in all competitions in the last 12 months, the Chiefs could not have picked a better time to rediscover the winning formula.
From start to finish, Baxter’s braves had too much for their rivals.
Thomas Waldrom, Jack Yeandle and Henry Slade all crossed for tries, whilst the boots of Slade and Gareth...
Exeter Chiefs welcome back Jack Nowell and Phil Dollman into their starting line-up for Sunday’s Aviva Premiership clash with Harlequins at Sandy Park (2pm).
Both Nowell and Dollman appeared off the bench in last week’s 25-22 win at Gloucester, but head coach Rob Baxter is keen to see the duo in action from the outset as the Chiefs look to record a third win in four starts this season.
England international Nowell has not started a league game since he injured a shoulder during Exeter’s defeat at Leicester Tigers last March, while Dollman has also had to sit on the...
Tony Rowe OBE held his audience captivated during his presentation at the latest Southernhay Breakfast Club on 19th September 2014. Over 60 people attended the event at the Southgate Hotel, despite the torrential weather getting to the venue.
A key element of his talk centred around taking an opportunity when they present themselves; a message he urged other Exeter based businesses to adopt, especially with next year’s Rugby World Cup coming to the city.
Adrian Hills from Kirk Hills commented, “We were thrilled that Tony was able to join us for this event – he’s a well...
Australian Pat Phibbs has today agreed a short-term deal to stay with the Exeter Chiefs.
With Dave Lewis currently sidelined with an elbow injury and fellow scrum-half Haydn Thomas having taken a bang to the head in last Friday's win at Gloucester, Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is keen to ensure he has sufficient cover in the half-back role.
Phibbs - who is in his second spell with the Devon club - initially joined a few weeks ago on trial, but his efforts in both training and for the Braves in the Aviva Premiership A League have clearly impressed Baxter to reward the 32-...

Graham Cridland, partner at Ashfords, commented: "Everyone at Ashfords was delighted to see Henry have...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after Henry Slade this week put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the Aviva Premiership.
Having already accrued the services of fellow young guns Jack Nowell, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Dave Ewers and Sam Hill until the summer of 2017, the 21-year-old playmaker has joined his colleagues in committing his future to the Sandy Park club.
It was - according to the Plymouth-born back - a simple decision to make and now he aims to kick on further and help the Chiefs to build for the future.

It's a term Rob Baxter insists he will use a lot this season, but the Exeter Chiefs head coach says "enjoyment" is very much part and parcel of his side's long-term make-up.
Devon's finest return to Aviva Premiership action tomorrow night at Gloucester determined to get back on track immediately following their narrow loss at home to Leicester Tigers last Saturday.
In a performance which Baxter described post-match as somewhat "frustrating" - the Chiefs leader knows not a lot needs tinkering with to ensure his side can get over the finishing line against the division's top...
