One thing that’s a given with Exeter Chiefs is that their fighting spirit will always be there in abundance.
The fact they showed it for only 40 minutes at Welford Road was the real disappointment for head coach Rob Baxter, who had to watch his side fight back from 31-6 down to rescue a losing bonus against Leicester Tigers.
Exeter’s hopes of moving back to the summit of the Aviva Premiership ahead of defending champions Saracens were thwarted by an impressive Tigers side, who themselves moved back into the play-off picture with this bonus point triumph.

Work to replace a safety barrier and road re-surfacing on the A396, north of Cove, Tiverton, will take 13 days longer than originally planned.

The reason for the delay is due to a short section of the river bank not being strong enough to support the proposed safety barrier (road restraint system).
Additional piles and a raft foundation have to be constructed and to do this the contractor must drill through very challenging...

Exeter Chiefs back coach Ali Hepher says his side will have to be on top form if they are to emerge triumphant from today's Sunday’s Aviva Premiership trip to Leicester Tigers (3pm).
The second-placed Chiefs made it back-to-back victories in the league a week ago when they defeated local rivals Bath 26-17 at Sandy Park, but their credentials are sure to be tested to the max by the Tigers, who themselves remain firmly in the play-off picture having thumped London Irish last time out.
Nine points separate the two sides going into this weekend’s tussle at Welford Road and...
