Exeter Chiefs star Don Armand admits expectation levels have rightly changed across the board as he and his team-mates prepare to kick-off a new Aviva Premiership season against Wasps this Sunday (3pm).
No longer seen as English rugby’s ‘New Kids on the Block’ – Rob Baxter’s side underlined their growing emergence within the game last season, advancing to the last eight of the European Champions Cup for the first time, as well as narrowly missing out on a first-ever Premiership title to Saracens.
The development of Devon’s finest has been talked about far and wide, but much...

Holne Park House and CRS Adventures, based on the River Dart Country Park in Devon, ran a two-day training programme for the Exeter Chiefs in preparation for the squad’s pre-season campaign.
The action-packed programme was centred around team-building and involved an array of timed challenges; from tractor pulling, dismantling and rebuilding a canon, to raft racing and a multi-terrain log carry.
Each challenge lasted approximately 45 minutes – and ensured that each team member was challenged both physically and mentally to prepare them for the gruelling season ahead....
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says he and his team are relishing kicking off another Aviva Premiership season against Wasps.
Having faced the Midlanders four times last season - winning all three Premiership meetings and losing at the death in the European Champions Cup quarter-final - the Chiefs will kick-off their seventh year in the top fight with a trip to the Ricoh Arena on Sunday, September 4 (3pm).
A week later and the Devon club will have an equally stiff assignment on home soil, welcoming reigning Premiership and European champions Saracens to Sandy Park in...
Exeter Chiefs newcomer Greg Holmes says he is “excited” by the challenge that lies ahead as he prepares to join up with the Aviva Premiership club in the coming weeks.
The 33-year-old prop is one of three new faces set to arrive at Sandy Park this summer, having been recruited by head coach Rob Baxter from Australian Super Rugby side, Queensland Reds, ahead of the new 2016/17 season.
Holmes is set to end his 11-year association with the Reds once the current Super Rugby season finishes and will come straight into the Chiefs plans as they look to attack the new Premiership...
Dean Mumm is backing fellow Aussies Dave Dennis and Greg Holmes to make a big impact when they arrive at Exeter Chiefs in the coming weeks. Following in the stud marks of the 32-year-old, who enjoyed a stellar three-year spell at Sandy Park, the Wallabies duo are two of three new faces head coach Rob Baxter is bringing to Sandy Park ahead of the 2016/17 season. And having played alongside both of Exeter’s new recruits, the former Chiefs skipper is perfectly positioned to offer the perfect insight into what the two highly-rated forwards can bring to the Devon club. “I’ve played club rugby...
George Ford (Bath Rugby) and Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs) return to the England starting 15 for the second Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Saturday, 18 June (kick-off 11am BST, live on Sky Sports 1).
Ford starts at fly-half with Owen Farrell (Saracens) moving to inside centre, while Cornishman Nowell is reinstated on the wing at the expense of Marland Yarde (Harlequins).
The pack is unchanged to the one that started the first Test against Australia in Brisbane last weekend, but on the bench Saracens hooker Jamie George, Harlequins back-row forward Jack Clifford...

Julian Salvi admitted the only thing missing from an “amazing” first year with the Exeter Chiefs was failing to pick up the Aviva Premiership title at Twickenham.
Brought to Devon last summer from Leicester Tigers, the Australian open-side has been a near ever-present for Rob Baxter’s side during a stellar campaign, which finished up at the home of English rugby in Saturday’s showpiece event.
Sadly, though, the Chiefs – playing in their first-ever Premiership final – could not cap what has been a year to remember for them as they went down narrowly to defending champions...
Hat-trick hero Jack Nowell says Exeter Chiefs cannot afford to let their standards slip as the quest for glory in this season's Aviva Premiership cranks up another notch. The Cornishman was in devastating form on Saturday, helping himself to three of Exeter's ten tries in their 62-24 demolition of Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop. That success not only ensured Rob Baxter's side ended the scheduled top flight season on a significant high, but it guaranteed the Chiefs second spot in the table and a home semi-final against Wasps in the end of season play-offs. England international Nowell...
