WELCOME INVESTEC CHAMPIONS CUP RUGBY RETURNS TO SANDY PARK, AND AFTER AN HISTORIC OPENING WEEKEND FOR OUR CLUB, EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING AMONGST OUR YOUNG SQUAD AS THEY LOOK TO CUT THEIR TEETH AGAINST SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES WITHIN WORLD RUGBY. It was a truly remarkable performance in round one of this season’s competition, for our young team with an average age of just 24, to travel to Toulon and return with a hard-fought victory in their back-pocket, is a testament to the determination, skill and talent we have amongst our ranks.

With the combined fury of the Stade Felix Mayol faithful ringing in his ears, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that Henry Slade would slot that winning kick, there are few players in the country better under such pressure.

However, one win doesn’t make a successful campaign, and it is important that our players maintain their wonderful home record in front of the biggest crowd of the season so far, as we welcome Munster Rugby to Sandy Park.

who make the journey across the Irish Sea and the atmosphere reverberating around the stadium today should add fuel to the fire for a fantastic fixture.

We are thrilled to announce that our festive encounter with Leicester Tigers on the 23rd of December, is set to break attendance records at Sandy Park, with the biggest crowd ever packing into the stadium. After the challenges of the past few seasons, it is wonderful to see so many fans returning to the stands and we hope that this will continue into the New Year, with plenty more exciting fixtures in the calendar.

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our fantastic Women’s team on their impressive start to the Allianz PWR campaign, Susie Appleby is doing wonderful work, and it is fantastic that there are so many young players from the local area who are getting an opportunity to show their talent on the big stage.

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

Our battles in previous seasons have always been tightly fought and well contested, and I have no doubt that today’s match will maintain that competitive record. We are always delighted to welcome the many hundreds of Munster fans

ROB BAXTER OBE

WELCOME BACK TO SANDY PARK FOR OUR ROUND TWO GAME IN THIS SEASON’S INVESTEC CHAMPIONS CUP, AGAINST ONE OF THE HISTORICAL NAMES IN THIS COMPETITION IN THE FORM OF MUNSTER. I AM SURE THEY WILL HAVE BROUGHT PLENTY OF TRAVELLING SUPPORT TO DEVON AND I HOPE THEY ENJOY THEIR VISIT TO EXETER. We too have some history in this competition having been previous winners and semi-finalists last season and we have had some of our best experiences as a club when travelling to new and different places.

The players really turned up last week in Toulon to create another one of those experiences and memories. Toulon tend to start hard and fast at home and we knew we had to stand up in that earlier period. We did that really well and even took the lead but we then had a slightly inaccurate second quarter which allowed Toulon to build a lead.

The messages at half time were pretty simple, we were emotionally and physically in the game but individual errors were preventing us from building pressure. The players were just asked to try and focus on their individual actions when they were on or around the ball as this would give us that bit more continuity and let us impose ourselves.

I would also like to praise our travelling support, I thought they created a great atmosphere around the city before and after the game – they never tired from being heard in the game. The players loved the opportunity to interact after the game and it was really a special moment.

Our challenge now will be getting the training week right and turning up ready to meet Munster head-on in the early part of the game. We then give ourselves a chance to build something special again and it would be great to do that in front of our home support.

Finally, I would like to welcome Graham Rowntree, his staff and the supporters of Munster to Sandy Park.

The players did this fantastically well and although we had to dig in and fight our way out of a couple of difficult situations, we never broke and slowly but surely we started to build possession, territory and pressure. Then, with 20 minutes left, after scoring a try and a conversion to narrow the lead to six points, we started to look like a team that was going to stay on the attack and force a win.

For myself I have to say, it was a very emotional experience watching the team grow through the game and show the hard work, fight and belief to create the win. And being pitch side as Henry nailed the conversion was just about as good as things get!

CLUB NEWS TRURO COLLEGE IN U18S ACE LEAGUE FINAL FOR FIRST TIME IN 14 YEARS

A valiant Truro College side went up against heavyweights Hartpury College at Dings Crusaders’ ground last week with the reigning champions retaining their title.

Marek Churcher, Academy Lead at Truro College, was proud of his players who had worked tirelessly to achieve the opportunity and gave their all to the momentous occasion.

“It was amazing for us as a college, for the players and for the people of Cornwall. The last time Truro College were in a final was in 2009 with the likes of Sam and Josh Matavesi as well as a few lads who are still playing at Cornish Pirates.”

“The journey to get to the final has built a phenomenal amount of resilience in the lads.

They’ve really created an unbreakable bond.”

JUNIOR AND FUTURE CHIEFS BEHIND THE SCENES EVENT Exeter Chiefs are excited to have invited all Junior and Future Chiefs members to a behind the scenes event at Sandy Park in the run-up to Christmas.

All members should have received a registration form in an email to confirm their attendance at the event. If you have not receive this, please contact the club.

There is also plenty of time still to become a Future or Junior Chief with fantastic benefits included in both packages – including two tickets to our Investec Champions Cup home game against Glasgow Warriors in January 2024.

POSITION: WING/FULL-BACK HEIGHT: 1.83M (5FT 11IN) WEIGHT: 92KG (14ST 4LBS)

TALENTED YOUNGSTER BEN HAMMERSLEY ADMITS HE COULD NOT HAVE FORESEEN THE FORM HE HAS BEEN ENJOYING RECENTLY AT THE START OF THE SEASON, BUT HE IS DELIGHTED TO BE MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY AFFORDED TO HIM. Hammersley has come a long way since starting his rugby journey at age six with Hertford RFC. Since those days in age-grade club colours he has represented Newquay Hornets RFC, Truro College and Exeter University – winning a BUCS title with the latter in 2022 – before making his Chiefs debut against Bristol Bears in this season’s Premiership Rugby Cup pool stages.

While a Chiefs shirt with his surname on the back was always a goal, it was not one he saw falling into his grasp at the tender age of just 20.

“If you had asked me at the start of the season if I’d seen any of this coming, I would have said no. It all came as a bit of a shock during the Premiership Rugby Cup. From there, I’ve just taken every week as it comes. I’ve grafted, got to know the boys, got to know the system really well and just enjoyed every week since then.”

“I didn’t really focus on a Chiefs shirt being at the end of my pathway as I moved through it. It came a lot earlier than I thought it would do. The rough plan I had in my head meant it may happen 14

“IT’S BEEN CHALLENGING, BUT I’VE EMBRACED IT AND I’M LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT NOW, JUST RELISHING THE OPPORTUNITY." in the next two or three years when I was about 23 or 24. I think this year I got a bit lucky, so just took the opportunity when it came and tried to make the shirt my own a bit more – that’s what I challenge myself to do each week.”

“It’s been challenging, but I’ve embraced it and I’m loving every second of it now, just relishing the opportunity. Like last week – that was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a rugby pitch.”

He is of course talking about his European competition debut against Toulon at the Stade Felix Mayol in the opening round of the Investec Champions Cup. With still just 10 Chiefs appearances to his name, Hammersley is becoming a regular feature amongst a similarly young and hungry backline who Rob Baxter is entrusting to run games. This has been no easy feat for the winger, but he has given his all to the experience, relying upon his own work ethic alongside the support of teammates, young and old.

“The challenges have definitely been physical and mental. The speed of the game compared to university is a lot quicker and the physicality alongside that is almost doubled. Getting used to that in a small timeframe was quite challenging.”

“There’s also getting to know how different people play and how they go about their game – which can be pretty hard to learn as well. As you get to play more games with them and get used to the way they do things, it becomes a lot easier.”

He is in good company with the likes of Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Tom Cairns, Joe Hawkins and Tommy Wyatt in the backline alongside him – all of whom are 25 years old or younger, and none of

whom have more than 30 Chiefs caps.

“We’re all trying to find our feet and find out how each other plays to figure out how we can combine well and how we can express ourselves – in that I mean which ways we can show the strong sides of our game. In that way, us all being pretty young is good because we get to experience it all together and build those links that we didn’t have before.”

“We’re all in the same boat, I think. Obviously, some boys – like Henry Slade or Harvey Skinner – have more caps but their experience has helped us younger boys a lot – especially for me in these past few weeks going into some harder games and the Investec Champions Cup.” In a season which has already surpassed his initial aspirations, Hammersley is conscious not to load the pressure on himself with goals for personal accolades, though he does relent that his name being printed on the scoresheet would be a nice box to check.

“There’s no real one thing I’m looking to tick off before the end of the season, though a first try for the club would be great! I’m just taking every game as it comes – you never know what’s going to happen next week, whether it be injury or selection – so I think just enjoying every moment you get to spend on the field is key."

FROM THE PRESS BOX IT HAS BEEN MY JOY AND PRIVILEGE TO COVER EXETER CHIEFS HOME AND AWAY FOR BBC RADIO DEVON FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. IT HAS TAKEN ME ALL ACROSS THE UK, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND AND FRANCE, AND IT HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC JOURNEY TO BE A PART OF. The European trips are always very special, being able to mingle with the club’s excellent supporters before and after games, in and around work commitments of course, and sharing our love of rugby together.

It was fitting that Henry Slade was the man to kick the Chiefs to glory once again. You could not ask for a better person to be standing over a last-minute kick to win a match, though I would include Gareth Steenson in that statement too!

However, of all the European experiences I have savoured with Chiefs, I agree with Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter that the victory over Toulon at the Stade Felix Mayol on Saturday is right up there with the best of them.

Slade has stuck around at Sandy Park, despite seeing a number of his friends accept big-money moves to French clubs, but he is looking revitalised, playing like he is in his early 20s again, and if Steve Borthwick does not pick him for the forthcoming Six Nations, there is something seriously wrong with the England head coach’s thinking.

Of course, winning the European Cup in 2020 was incredibly special, but there were no fans that year due to COVID, and Exeter played at home in the knockout stages of the competition, with the final in Bristol, so it felt very different.

Young Irish referee Chris Busby also deserves enormous credit for the way he handled the closing stages of the game on Saturday.

However, for this young Exeter side to be given absolutely no chance of winning against the current French Top 14 second-place outfit, and to play in such a hostile, bear-pit of a stadium, yet to come away with a victory, is just incredible, and is one of the great European rugby stories of recent times.

It takes a lot of character to keep giving decisions against the home side – however right those decisions are – when the crowd are baying for your blood. It would be much simpler to go for the easy option, and take the pressure off yourself, but he kept his cool brilliantly.

A team with so little European experience, bar a few notable exceptions, had no right to go to France and bloody the nose of the three-times former champions, but they did.

I expect to see the man from Antrim become a regular on the international stage in years to come.

Rob could have picked a team that was more experienced, but decided if this exciting group of young players is going to be winning things in the next five years, tough days like this on the Mediterranean coast were all part of the learning experience.

Last Saturday’s result sets Exeter up nicely for today’s clash with old foes Munster – games which are always memorable occasions.

A big welcome to their wonderful fans, who will no doubt have travelled this weekend in their usual large numbers. It is just a shame there is no return pool fixture this season!

I doubt even Rob in his wildest dreams would have expected to come away with a win. He was looking for a performance from his players to do the club and its supporters proud, and the outcome was almost immaterial.

But such is the progress this young crop are making this season, silverware could be coming along far sooner than anyone expected.

Chiefs have defended Sandy Park successfully for over a year now, and to breach those defences will take a warrior-like performance.

HEAD COACH: GRAHAM ROWNTREE A member of the acclaimed Leicester Tigers ‘ABC’ club in his playing days, Munster Head Coach Graham Rowntree can now boast an illustrious coaching CV. Retiring in 2007 after 17 years and 398 appearances with Tigers, the former prop immediately moved straight into coaching with the Premiership outfit. Since then, he has enjoyed a seven year spell with England Rugby as Forwards Coach and Assistant Coach.

This led to his inclusion in the coaching set up of three British and Irish Lions tours – 2009, 2013 and 2017. Following short spells with Harlequins and Georgia’s international side, Rowntree arrived on Irish shores in 2019 as Forwards Coach.

Taking over the Head Coach mantel in 2022, the

Englishman led Munster to silverware in his first season in charge when the side triumphed over South African side, Stormers, in the 2022/23 URC final.

A combative and competitive Investec Champions Cup is his latest challenge this season and today Rowntree’s side come up against a Chiefs side looking to show that developing the youth of your club in the tough competitions can produce special moments.

ONE TO WATCH: GAVIN COOMBES Bolstering back rower Gavin Coombes has become a leading figure in the Munster pack in recent years. Still just 26 years old, he has already amassed 81 caps for the province.

Educated at Bandon Grammar, Coombes developed through the ranks of Young Munster, Munster Academy and the Ireland age-grade programme – representing the U19s and U20s – before going on to represent his country at elite level in the 2021 Summer Series.

The youngster made his senior Munster debut in September 2018 against Cheetahs before a coveted Champions Cup debut came to him in

December 2020 against Harlequins in the cauldron of Munster rugby, Thomond Park.

Coombes came into the 2023/24 season following an incredibly strong campaign last year with 22 Munster appearances in the lead-up to a URC title.

The Munsterman is one to be watched. A strong-ball carrier, powerful scrummager and a rough tackler in the line of defence, Coombes has shown on many an occasion that he is willing to put his body on the line for his side.

COMMUNITY UPDATE

IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER GREAT START TO THE ACADEMIC YEAR, WITH THE EXETER CHIEFS COMMUNITY TEAM COACHING IN MANY DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, BOTH SECONDARY AND PRIMARY SCHOOLS. We have been delivering Project Rugby in many Secondary Schools, as well as Pitch Up and Play sessions outside of schools.

Project Rugby is designed to introduce as many people as possible to rugby, engage new audiences and stimulate a lifelong interest in the game. Since the programme began, it has engaged more than 90,000 young people nationwide.

The programme specifically aims to increase participation in the game from underrepresented groups; people from ethnically diverse communities and lower socio-economic backgrounds, and people with disabilities; positioning rugby as a sport for anyone regardless of background or ability.

So far, we have delivered sessions at Launceston College, Teign School, Paignton Academy and Tiverton College. We have also run girls only pitch up and play sessions at Newton Abbot RFC, with Women’s player Ebony Jefferies leading these.

In the new year we continue with this programme, working with schools such as Kingsmead School, Orchard Manor, Marland School and Pathfield.

We have already seen many boys and girls joining local clubs, and we cannot wait to continue growing the programme and helping more pupils play rugby.

EXETER CHIEFS FOUNDATION HOSTED A LIVELY CHRISTMAS LUNCH ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14 AT SANDY PARK. The four-course festive lunch – which included festive entertainment, live auction, player Q&A and David Flatman as compere – was a great success as the Christmas period gets underway.

The lunch was hosted in partnership with the Wooden Spoon charity with 50% of the charity proceedings going to the charity and the remaining 50% being spread around 25 charities in Exeter by the Chiefs Foundation.

Wooden Spoon are rugby’s children’s charity who focus on grant-making to help fund life-changing projects across the UK and Ireland.

Demi Keenan, Head of Exeter Chiefs Foundation, was delighted with the outpouring of festive cheer at the event.

“The lunch went incredibly well – everyone had a wonderful time and I received so much positive feedback. The food was the best to date, the silent auction was successful, and our compere Flats was a superstar – as funny as ever!”

And so, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped us contribute to the charity’s respected and valued charitable efforts by joining us for our festive celebration.

Today's bucket collectors are from the RD&E Charity and Dream-a-way.
