Northampton Saints 8 Exeter Chiefs 3

If 2015 produced some sparkling rugby from the Exeter Chiefs, then the New Year began with little fizz for Rob Baxter’s side as they slipped to defeat at Franklin’s Gardens.

Mike Haywood’s first half try, plus a penalty from Northampton fly-half JJ Hanrahan, proved sufficient enough reward for the Saints to see off Devon’s finest.

In a contest which failed to live up to all the pre-match hype, the scant consolation for the travelling Tribe on a miserable afternoon was that their side were able to at least grab a losing bonus point.

Gareth Steenson’s late penalty did...

Will Chudley says Exeter Chiefs need no reminding of the threat posed by Northampton Saints in their latest Aviva Premiership encounter this Friday (3pm).

Although the Midlanders are without a win in their last three games, Jim Mallinder’s side are always a tough nut to crack on home soil and Chudley is expecting a backlash of sorts following their surprise loss at London Irish last time out.

“Going up there is very much like Sandy Park,” said the scrum-half. “It’s always a great atmosphere, they have very passionate supporters and they have a great team. We know it’s going...
