Exeter boss Rob Baxter says his side’s dramatic Prem Rugby loss at Bath shows how far his side have come this season.<\/b><\/p>\n

Arthur Green’s last-minute try secured a 33-26 win for the hosts after Exeter had battled back from 26-0 down to level the scores in the final five minutes. <\/p>\n

The Chiefs won just four games last season as they finished a club-worst second-from-bottom of the Premiership.<\/p>\n

In contrast they are third this season with six wins and just two defeats after nine matches, sitting four points off leaders Northampton and two behind Bath. <\/p>\n

“At the start of the season if someone had said where we would be, that we’d be disappointed with two points away at Bath in a top-four clash, you would take that every day of the week,” Baxter told BBC Radio Devon.<\/p>\n

“We are a team that’s growing, we’re not a team that’s going backwards, we’re not ageing, we’re the right age range, we’re getting experience into players.<\/p>\n

“Someone like Bachuki (Tchumbadze), I think that’s his fifth game of paid professional rugby.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot to come from these guys and I’m really enjoying working with them.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
