Exeter Chiefs coach Rob Baxter: 'Pressure is on us'

Exeter Chiefs coach Rob Baxter warns his players that all the pressure is on them ahead of their match against the Newcastle Falcons in the Aviva Premiership.

Exeter Chiefs coach Rob Baxter has warned his players that all the pressure is on them as they head into their Aviva Premiership match against the Newcastle Falcons.

Exeter are coming off an impressive win against Harlequins last week while Newcastle are yet to win in 20 games, yet Baxter is wary of an upset.

Baxter told reporters: "Every game we have played this season has looked winnable because we have been on good form.

"But I think the big issue with this game - and I know people will say there is pressure on Newcastle because they are near the bottom of the table - but is there really any pressure on a team that has lost 19 or 20 games?

"They have changed their game as they said they would, and they have broadened their threatening game, so we have to be very aware because in some ways they bring more threats than what Harlequins did last week."

The Chiefs will be without England wing Jack Nowell, who is recovering from injury, with Tom James coming in for Sunday's game.
