How to watch Exeter Chiefs v Harlequins live on TV and full team news

by · DevonLive

Exeter Chiefs face Harlequins at Sandy Park on Sunday in Round Six of the 2024/25 Gallagher Premiership with Rob Baxter's men looking to end their five-game losing streak.

The Devon side are bolstered by the return from injury of star centre Henry Slade who is fit to make his first appearance of the season having been released from England's training camp to get some game time ahead of the Autumn Nations Series.

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter: “No single player is a cure-all to everything and you don’t suddenly put one player in and win every game but I think without doubt when you see how we lost a couple of games this season – I’m particularly talking about our two home games – you do kind of think it wouldn’t have taken much more authority or calmness on the field for those to have been, not comfortable, but they could have easily turned our way.

“So, when you look at it that way, that obviously puts a big difference on the perspective of the season. Would we have gone to Newcastle and played better with some points on the board? Almost certainly, so you could say there’s a big ripple effect there and that’s probably where we are as a group really.”
