WELCOME

GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO TODAY’S GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP GAME AGAINST BATH RUGBY.

It is slight deja vu as we welcomed our west country rivals to Sandy Park just two weeks ago for our Investec Champions Cup last 16 game. That was a great day of rugby and saw us progress to the quarter final stage of the competition.

Last weekend, we took on European giants Toulouse at the Stade Ernest Wallon as many of our squad cut their teeth in a first quarter final.

While the result did not go our way, the weekend was an incredible experience for our squad and I know many of the players, as well as our coaches, feel it created memories for them that will last a lifetime.

I would like to commend our players for the passion, integrity and talent they displayed throughout the campaign. They did both themselves and the club proud. I know they will be back on the big stage in the future, and who knows what that could hold.

We have continued to announce our player re-signings for the 2024/25 season, and I would like to remind everyone that a season ticket is the perfect way to ensure you are there to watch every game at home next season and don’t miss a minute of your favourite players in action.

I would like to personally thank everyone joining us today for our penultimate home game of the regular season. Your continued support at Sandy Park this year is greatly appreciated by our players, who love nothing more than being able to play well in front of such passionate fans.

Finally, please join me in extending a very warm welcome to the Bath Rugby directors, coaches, players and supporters. We hope you have a fantastic day at Sandy Park.

CHAIRMAN AND CEO EXETER RUGBY CLUB

ROB BAXTER OBE

AFTER A TWO-WEEK ADVENTURE IN THE INVESTEC CHAMPIONS CUP, WE RETURN TO GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP ACTION TODAY WITH THE RETURN VISIT OF OUR EUROPEAN OPPONENTS, BATH RUGBY.

Our opposition will no doubt be looking for revenge after their recent visit, whilst we will be looking to push on in our fight for a top four spot.

Bath too will be looking to keep their exciting season on the front foot as they currently sit in second spot in the league, but such is the closeness of the Premiership this season that a win for us could see us leapfrog them on the points table. It really is going to be an exciting end to the 2023/24 season.

The last two weeks have had real emotional highs and lows. Firstly, in the last 16 game against Bath where we threw everything at them in the first 40 minutes only for them to hit us with two tries when playing into the strong wind.

However, we had made Bath work extremely hard for the first half and after the break this started to tell as we played with ambition into the wind and started to find greater momentum and more space.

We created some really good scores and with Henry Slade making some incredible conversions, we got ourselves in front and then negotiated a tense last five minutes to see the game out and earn a trip to Toulouse.

This game was always going to be a huge challenge, but we prepared well and the players to a man gave a full-blooded commitment to the game.

We were hugely competitive and held the lead early in the second half but to Toulouse’s great credit they didn’t panic and tweaked their game a little to attack in a slightly different way which allowed them to take full advantage of some one-

on-one tackles and create off loads and pace in the game.

That alongside a few errors under pressure from us created a difficult period where scores came quickly for Toulouse and the game got away from us.

The important thing for us is to use that experience in as positive a way as possible and make sure we are a better team because of it. We have had some tough days in all competitions before and we will again in the future, so how we move on is always the most important thing.

Finally, I would like to welcome Johann Van Graan, his staff, players and the supporters of Bath Rugby to Sandy Park.

ROB BAXTER OBE DIRECTOR OF RUGBY

YOUNG DUO COMMIT TO CHIEFS

Exeter Chiefs young duo of hooker Sol Moody and fly half Louie Sinclair have committed to Chiefs by signing new contracts.

Both youngsters joined Chiefs ahead of the 2023/24 season as part of a quartet of promising young students from Finborough School.

Director of Rugby Rob Baxter is excited to have both players commit to being a part of the next generation of Exeter Chiefs.

“Both the lads we feel have a bright future in the game, so we’re delighted to extend their contracts. Hopefully this can be the start of a successful senior career for them.”

Both players will continue their progression through the Chiefs Academy system as they keep their focus on their education and a future spot in the Chiefs first team.

DAVIS SIGNS FOR CHEETAHS FOR 2024/25

Exeter Chiefs back row Aidon Davis has agreed a move to Toyota Cheetahs for the 2024/25 season.

The South African forward will re-join the Bloemfontein side whom he originally signed for Chiefs from ahead of the 2022/23 season. In two seasons in Devon, Davis accumulated 25 appearances and four tries.

Chiefs will always evoke fond memories for Davis though he looks forward to his next challenge.

“I’ve made some great friends amongst my Chiefs teammates and their support recently has been invaluable. It’s been great fun to play for Exeter but I’m now really looking forward to heading home to South Africa and getting stuck back in with the Cheetahs.”

Today's bucket collectors are Age UK and Force.

UNIVERSITY OF EXETER INTO A THIRD SUCCESSIVE BUCS FINAL

EURFC, the University of Exeter’s men’s rugby side, competed in their third successive BUCS Super Rugby final this Wednesday afternoon.

Though they were defeated by Loughborough University at the StoneX, it has been a season of positivity for EURFC with notable highlights of a semi-final win against a tough Bath team, a feature fixture against Durham University at Sandy Park as well as a spirited Monday-night friendly against Chiefs.

The university forms an integral part of the Chiefs’ rugby development pathway with a large number of current first team players having honed their craft within its ranks.

Building on the huge success of last year's showpiece event, the 2024 Final will showcase the best of women’s rugby, to crown the inaugural Allianz Premiership Women's Rugby champions.

Following a competitive tendering process, where all Premiership Women’s Rugby clubs were invited to bid, Sandy Park was the unanimous choice to host the final.

Sandy Park Stadium is also one of eight venues to host a Women’s Rugby World Cup match in 2025 and has previously staged Red Roses games in front of more than 10,000 fans.

Belinda Moore, Chief Executive of Premiership Women’s Rugby said: “Everyone will remember the incredible 2023 Final at the newly-named Queensholm Stadium and we are expecting another great day for women’s sport in England this June, targeting a crowd of more than 10,000 this year.”

THE GALLAGHER WAY. SINCE 1927.

THE FAN-FAVOURITE CHIEFS CENTRE WHO HAS RETURNED TO FULL FITNESS IN TIME FOR A RUN-IN TO THE END OF THE SEASON WHERE HE SAYS EVERY WEEKEND FEELS LIKE A KNOCKOUT GAME.

It hasn’t been an easy journey back to full fitness for Ollie Devoto – two hip operations meant an extended period of gritty hard work in the rehab gym lay ahead of him. He weathered the storm and, judging on recent performances, has come back into form with his best foot forward.

In the past two weeks alone, he has been a key cog in the Chiefs back line for a last 16 knockout game against Bath Rugby at a soldout Sandy Park and a quarter final against Toulouse at a raucous Stade Ernest Wallon.

“I think if you had said to me a couple months ago that I’d be involved in two of the most important games of the season then I would have bitten your hand off. It sounds cliché but I never take anything for granted now.

“I’ve been really privileged to be involved in teams that have gone on to win trophies and be in big games before, but I think for me personally, that result against Bath in the Champions Cup and the first half against Toulouse – I’ll remember them for the rest of my career.”

The big stage is not foreign territory for Devoto who was essential to Chiefs’ maiden Premiership title in 2017 and the euphoria of the double-winning year of 2020. However, this season has the prospect of creating memories with a new set of faces surrounding him.

“You look around the changing room and think ‘this is a special group of players’. Yes, it’s different to the one I was used to before my time

POSITION: CENTRE

HEIGHT: 1.92M (6FT 4IN)

WEIGHT: 104KG (16ST 5LBS)

out with injury, but I think it’s a completely new, different type of special.

“It’s exciting. There are times I look around and think ‘geez, I’m the old one here’. I feel like it makes you feel a need to lead because you’ve had that experience. For example, the result didn’t go our way last weekend but certain individuals in that team are the better for it.”

The experience he talks about – coming up against the crème de la crème of French rugby – was one which the Chiefs took on with 10 of the matchday 23 just 23 years of age or younger. Devoto is confident though that age has been no barrier to the development of passionate leaders amongst the current squad.

“Though I don’t know if I would put myself in that category, I think there’s plenty other lads like Henry Slade who have fit perfectly into that role and Jack Yeandle leads from the front.

“Then you’ve got guys who you see those qualities in already, even though they’re only 21 years of age, like Dafydd Jenkins. He is far ahead of his years in terms of that leadership role. He’s come into it really well and fitted in seamlessly. I can imagine it’d be tough to fill a role like that when you’re looking around at a lot of guys older and with more experience.

“So, I think the combination of older guys – which it’s great that I’m included in that group – and young guys who are putting their hands up means that the group as a whole is lucky in that sense.”

Though the Investec Champions Cup journey has drawn to a close for Chiefs, a hotly contested Premiership campaign still holds the prospect of progression for Rob Baxter’s men. Such close proximity in the table – with first and sixth place separated by just nine points – means that every weekend could make or break a club’s chances of a top four finish.

In the closing rounds, there are just two games left at Sandy Park – a home which Devoto holds a special place in his heart for. The man with over 120 appearances for Chiefs says the feeling of running out of the tunnel in front of the loyal Chiefs supporters is one which cannot be replicated.

“It’s amazing. My only worry is that, when you stop playing, you don’t get that buzz. As players, you live for that time. That thirty seconds when you’re in the changing rooms waiting to run out at a packed Sandy

“AS PLAYERS, YOU LIVE FOR THAT TIME. THAT THIRTY SECONDS WHERE YOU’RE IN THE CHANGING ROOMS WAITING TO RUN OUT AT A PACKED SANDY PARK.”

Park. All the work you do in the week, I feel, leads up to that.

“From Bath this weekend I think it’ll be a completely different beast. They’ll be upset with the result two weeks ago. It’s going to be a really confrontational game, it always is. They’ve got some threats all over the park, their back row is very good over the ball, so breakdown is going to be key. We’re going to have to be at our very best to compete.”

Stainless steal.

In 1972, famed designer Gérald Genta created an oxymoron. Priced more than many precious metal rivals, the ‘luxury stainless steel timepiece’ was not an immediate success. But eventually its tough, elegant body, integrated bracelet and patterned dial caught on. A watch that dressed up for dinner. Or down, at the pool. Today’s 40mm, base automatic of that original watch costs £22,850 more than the new ‘Twelve’ - named for its dodecagon-sided bezel and rear lock ring. Our watch is thinner, goes deeper and offers a choice of C1/BL Grade X1-lumed dials. A polished, brushed and sandblasted case of daylight (and night time) robbery?

Do your research.

FROM THE PRESS BOX

I AM SURE THOSE EXETER CHIEFS SUPPORTERS WHO WERE ABLE TO GET TO TOULOUSE LAST WEEKEND AT SUCH RIDICULOUSLY SHORT NOTICE WILL HAVE BEEN PROUD OF THE EFFORTS THE SIDE PUT IN, EVEN THOUGH THE FINAL 64-26 SCORELINE SUGGESTS AN ABSOLUTE HAMMERING.

There were moments in the game where we could dare to dream, with Exeter leading 16-10 after 29 minutes and 19-17 four minutes into the second half.

This was against a side who had not lost at the Stade Ernest-Wallon in nearly two years, and the prospect of winning away to both Toulon and Toulouse in the same European season became a possibility.

However, I was very careful when commentating on the game for BBC Radio Devon that every time I mentioned that Chiefs were leading and that Harlequins were waiting in the semi-finals, I added that there was still a very long way to go in the contest.

You just sensed that at some point Toulouse would ‘revert to type’ so to speak and their star-studded line-up would hit their straps and show why they are the number one seeds in the competition and why they have lifted Europe’s top trophy five times before. The warning signs were there for all to see when they were awarded a very kickable penalty inside Exeter’s 22 when the Frenchmen were trailing 19-17 early in the second half.

They could have taken the three points to put them in the lead, but instead they kicked to the corner, and soon after they were celebrating a converted try to make it 24-19.

Ten minutes later, the scoreboard read 45-19, such was the devastating ruthlessness of Toulouse. Three more tries followed before the end to make it a rather cruel final scoreline for Exeter, but it was a performance that, for large parts, the Chiefs could take a lot of pride from, and for the youngsters it is all part of their rugby education.

Such an experience will benefit them in years to come when they are hopefully serious contenders for European glory.

It is hard to look beyond a Leinster-Toulouse final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in late May, but as Quins showed in Bordeaux, you write them off at your peril.

Northampton are also playing well enough to give Leinster a good battle, and with the match at Croke Park and not at the Aviva Stadium, the Irishmen will not enjoy the unfair home advantage they have been given in recent seasons when the Aviva was deemed a ‘neutral’ venue, despite them playing regularly there.

The Chiefs return to domestic action today with the quick return of Bath, who lost 21-15 at Sandy Park in the Champions Cup round of 16 only a fortnight ago.

The forecast for this weekend is in stark contrast to that game, when a very strong wind was blowing down the ground, with sunny, calm and fairly warm conditions on the cards.

That should suit Scotland co-captain Finn Russell’s kicking game far better, if he is fit to play, and that is something Exeter will need to be aware of. His ability to put a crossfield kick on a sixpence will really test out the Chiefs’ defence out wide.

Given Exeter’s form on the road in recent weeks, it is almost a must-win match in terms of their hopes of finishing in the top four and securing a place in the play-offs, otherwise they will surely need to win at both Gloucester and Leicester to extend their campaign beyond the regular season.

SEASON OVERVIEW:

TODAY’S OPPOSITION CURRENTLY SIT SECOND IN AN INCREDIBLY

COMPETITIVE GALLAGHER PREMIERSHIP TABLE, WITH EVERY RESULT PROVING VITAL AT THE TAIL END OF THE SEASON.

As it stands, just nine points separate top of the table Northampton Saints from sixth place Exeter Chiefs. Both Bath and Chiefs have taken eight wins and six losses as bonus points prove the deciding factor in standings.

Back-to-back wins started the season out on positive footing for Chiefs’ west country rivals before they faltered against Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints, though they righted their course for the following rounds as they arrive at Sandy Park today with 44 points to their name in the table.

They have showed their scoring prowess in high scoring games against the likes of Bristol Bears and Sale Sharks as well as displaying their ability to grind out the grittier results.

With a wealth of international talent in their ranks, Van Graan has found himself at the helm of a team hungry with a desire to emulate the form of their title challenging glory days.

HEAD COACH

Brought into the Bath Rugby fold in the summer of 2022, South African Johann Van Graan has become a favourite amongst the Recreation Ground faithful who have seen him lead their team from a berth at the bottom of the table to genuine top four Gallagher Premiership contenders.

Van Graan began his already impressive coaching career with Blue Bulls under the leadership and tutelage of Heyneke Meyer. In his time with the franchise, he assisted their forwards and attacking processes, helping the side secured three Super 14 titles.

In the years that followed his first appointment, the now Bath man took charge as Springboks

ONE TO WATCH: OLLIE LAWRENCE JOHANN VAN GRAAN

forwards coach, most notably during the 2015 Rugby World Cup, before taking up the coveted position of Munster Rugby head coach in 2017.

Having led the Irish province to two Champions Cup semi-finals, three league semi-finals and a Pro14 final in a five-year spell, he moved to the West Country for a new challenge.

England international Ollie Lawrence has become a key figure in Bath Rugby’s backline since signing, originally on a shortterm injury deal, in October 2022.

The centre’s rugby journey began as part of the Worcester Warriors Academy at the tender age of 14. Progressing through the ranks, he made his first team debut for the former Premiership side against Sale Sharks in an Anglo-Welsh Cup clash in 2017.

Gaining age-grade representation caps for England at U18 and U20 levels, the Birmingham-born back earned his first England cap in 2020 as part of then head coach Eddie Jones’ Six Nations winning side.

Coming up against England teammates Henry Slade and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso in today’s clash of the back-lines, it will be intriguing to see how the sleek-footed centre uses the tricks in his arsenal to try to break through the strong Chiefs defence.
