Exeter Chiefs
Exeter Rugby Club has been known as the Exeter Chiefs since 1999, but the team’s history dates all the way back to 1871.
It only took nine years for Exeter Rugby Club to win their first title, as the team clinched the Devon Cup in 1890. Ever since, the club has been a trailblazer. In 1905, Exeter Rugby Club hosted the first match played by the New Zealand national team on English soil. The match is actually one of the most iconic in rugby union history, because this was the game when New Zealand were first referred to as the ‘All Blacks’.
