Having seen his side return to winning ways in the Aviva Premiership last weekend, Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is hoping for more of the same at Harlequins tomorrow (Saturday 3pm).
Last Saturday’s 46-17 home win over Newcastle Falcons was just the pick-me-up the Westcountry outfit needed following a turgid run of league form either side of Christmas.
Four successive losses meant the Chiefs had allowed a number of their top flight rivals around them to close in - and with it create a bit of log-jam with regards to the positioning around the top end of the table....

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...
Will Chudley says it’s vital Exeter Chiefs look to make the most of their encouraging start to the new Aviva Premiership season when they play host to Harlequins on Sunday (2pm).
The Chiefs have already secured away wins at London Welsh and Gloucester, whilst a star-studded Leicester Tigers were pushed all the way in their opening home game of the season before the Midlanders nabbed a narrow 25-22 victory.
Chudley knows all too well the Chiefs will need to be at their best if they are to maintain their position amongst the division’s frontrunners, but he says confidence is...
Exeter Chiefs saw their hopes of lining up alongside Europe’s elite next season finally ended as a late Tom Guest have Harlequins a narrow victory in a pulsating encounter at Sandy Park.
The Quins’ replacement crossed with just minutes remaining to ensure the Londoners – who had not led until that point – not only headed back to the capital with all five points, but at the same time kept alive their own hopes of being in the Aviva Premiership’s end of season play-offs.
It was indeed a bitter pill to swallow for the Chiefs who, it has to be...

Exeter Chiefs may not have finished 2013 as they would have hoped, but already skipper Dean Mumm is aiming to start the New Year with a bang.
Just days after coming unstuck 22-6 to Harlequins in Big Game 6 at a packed Twickenham, the experienced Aussie forward already has his sights set on Sunday's Aviva Premiership trip to London Wasps (3pm).

Given the spectacular Twickenham stage to showcase their talents, Exeter Chiefs suffered a terrible bout of stage fright as rivals Harlequins stole the headlines in BIg Game 6.

Prop Ben Moon says last Saturday's 16-3 victory over Newcastle Falcons has given the Exeter Chiefs the ideal lift heading into this weekend's crunch Aviva Premiership encounter with Harlequins.
After a run of five successive league and cup defeats, the Chiefs rediscovered their winning touch thanks to a Haydn Thomas try and 11 points from the boot of leading points-scorer Gareth Steenson.
The victory - Exeter's sixth in the top flight this season - helped Rob Baxter's side rise to fifth in the standings, just a point adrift of Harlequins, who provide the latest hurdle for...
