Exeter now have a week off before their final two Prem games.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs remain in fourth place but have a tough end to the season with a trip to third-placed Leicester before hosting fifth-placed Saracens.<\/p>\n
Exeter are hoping to earn a first play-off place since 2021 as they bounce back after their worst Prem campaign last season.<\/p>\n
Baxter says his side are learning “a few tough lessons” as this season goes on, but that their recent matches have been the best way to educate themselves.<\/p>\n
“I said a couple of weeks ago it’s nice to be in big games – that’s how you learn the quickest,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We haven’t tripped along and had weeks off here, weeks off there – we’ve gone through three rounds of European knockouts. That’s good experience for us and there’s some big games.<\/p>\n
“In Treviso, that was a hell of a game. That takes a little bit out of you and then you go again and you go to Ulster and that takes a little bit out of you, then Bath turn up at Sandy Park and we had a big emotional game there.<\/p>\n
“I think we haven’t maybe been able to draw a breath and move forward. That’s what we need to do, and that’s why this week will be good for us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exeter now have a week off before their final two Prem games.
