You would not have wanted to be part of the Bristol management team watching on. As the game unfolded, the Bears were guilty of error upon error that cost them possession and territory. It was as if the Sandy Park bogey had its beady eye on them. Gabriella Nigrelli, another of England’s young Under 20s
And Talking Points from the start of the new PWR Just the one game left over from yesterday, but its interest lay in the debut of Leicester Tigers. Could they outdo the other newcomers, Trailfinders Women, to record a win on debut? The outlook was dim; Chiefs are dead set on achieving a first ever
Exeter Chiefs Women will kick-off the inaugural Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby league competition with a blend of new, young and experienced players, along with several returning internationals. The new nine-team PWR begins this weekend with Chiefs Women travelling to Mattioli Woods Welford Road on Sunday (KO 15:00) to take on Leicester Tigers Women, who were

In the time-honoured phrase, there was little love lost between
Allianz Premier 15s Final – Saracens v Exeter Chiefs Sixways, Worcester This was a very different Sarries side from the one that let in 50 points at Sandy Park recently. For one thing, they had Marlie Packer and Poppy Cleall firing on all cylinders, and few sides in the world know how to deal with
Saracens v Exeter Chiefs This is the fifth season of the Prem 15s and the fourth final. The 2019-20 season came to an unwelcome halt after Round 12 for reasons we may possibly have forgotten. And for once it is not the pair of perennial finalists on show; Saracens are safely through, but Quins had
It was a tough day in the office for the black and gold army falling short to visitors, Exeter Chiefs, by just two points in a nail biting match fought down to the last minute. It was Wasps who opened the game with a stunning run from winger, Quansah, to score on the left wing
Susie Appleby spoke of her delight after she today bolstered her Exeter Chiefs Women’s squad with three new international names.
