This is Exeter

Exeter Chiefs encountered few problems as they eased to a comfortable 30-15 win away to Cornish Pirates in the Championship on Sunday afternoon.

No.8 Rich Baxter was the driving force behind the triumph, scoring two tries — including a 65-metre run in from an interception — and pushing his team forward at every opportunity.

Andy Miller scored the only try of the first half as the Chiefs went in at the break 13-0 ahead.

Blair Cowan crossed for the Pirates early in the second half, but Baxter's double and a score on his 100th league appearance for Neil Clark ensured the visitors went home happy.

    “Good to see the chiefs form has returned.
    And allways good to put the Cornish back in their place.
    well done rich”
