Exeter in Party Mood

Comments Off on Exeter in Party Mood

The Exeter Chiefs are in celebration mood and they have every reason to do so.

They did reach the finals of the Premiership and were being compared with Leicester City in their accomplishments. Many even stated that Exeter rugby team is what Leicester City is to football. They might be on the verge of winning the English title. The Premiership finals were held on 28th May where Exeter Chiefs were set to play against Saracens.

Though this game finally saw Saracens winning it was brilliantly executed by Exeter as well. They were able to score about 17 points that were unanswered by Saracens. Though the result of the game was their defeat, the team did play brilliantly. The main takeaway for the Rob Baxter as the first team coach is that they should have held it together at the beginning.

Exeter Has Had A Good Season So Far

Comments Off on Exeter Has Had A Good Season So Far

The boss of Exeter Chiefs stated that the team put in their best performance of the playoffs on the Premiership tournament.

The win they obtained against Harlequins was their biggest ever. They were able to score 52-0 in the game. It took place at London Welsh. It was the opening day match when they were able to score big. The match was definitely one of the biggest wins of the team in the 145 years that they have played.

As the coach states, the focus is not to get to the finals or beat the Wasps. They need to play the best game they can and give the fans something to be proud of. That is something expected out of the team when they play Premiership games. The season has definitely turned out well in Exeter. They were able to finish off in the second position in the Premiership. The playoff match that they played first ended with a home tie. When the quarter finals were reached of the Champions Cup, it added another feather to the cap of the team. They were able to defeat the Clermont Auvergne in the match. The other achievement of the team is getting three of their best player, Luke, Henry and Jack to be selected to play for England.

Chris Ashton backed to earn England return

Comments Off on Chris Ashton backed to earn England return

Saracens FC player Chris Ashton has been backed to win his place back in the England squad for the Rugby World Cup 2015 on home soil this summer by his club boss. Mark McCall has also claimed that the winger is now playing at a much higher level that he did when he last appeared for England in the international arena.

Ashton lived up to his reputation as one of the in-form wingers at the moment in the country when he scored two stunning tries for his club in a 42-14 hammering of Harlequins FC in front of a record crowd at Wembley recently and McCall believes the player’s confidence is sky high at this time and it is showing in the performances that he has been putting in.

The two tries against Harlequins FC took his tally to 12 in 22 matches in both the Aviva Premiership and European Rugby Champions Cup this season. However, according to McCall, it is not his scoring form but the improvement in his all round game that has made Chris Ashton a contender for an England spot once again after being overlooked for the Six Nations Championship campaign earlier this year.

England Rugby Team skipper Robshaw hates being ‘papped’

Comments Off on England Rugby Team skipper Robshaw hates being ‘papped’

Chris Robshaw, the captain of the England Rugby Team has admitted that he has become more cautious when he out in the public due to the heavy attention that he tends to receives from the paparazzi.

Earlier in April, the 28 year old Harlequins FC skipper was snapped by the paparazzi spending time with his girlfriend Camilla Kerslake in Barbados after he was given time off from the club. And he has admitted that it is disturbing at times that he does not have a private life anymore where anything and everything he does ends up in the front pages of newspapers.

And since then, the Harlequins FC man has decided to seek some advice from former England test cricketer and captain Andrew Strauss as well as another former England Rugby Team skipper Lawrence Dallagio about how to deal with being in the media spotlight all the time.

According to Robshaw, always being in the media glares and chased around by the paparazzi is not something that they welcomed or ever wanted. He added that he has to be careful when he is doing something and that is not very natural for a human being.

He added that it is a new situation and he has sat down with the likes of Andrew Strauss and Lawrence Dallagio, people who have been through these things before when they were playing for England at the highest level.
