In a bid to bolster their squad, Exeter Chiefs' head coach Rob Baxter is set to sign Tom Hooper from the Brumbies. This acquisition raises questions about Hooper's future with the Wallabies, as he transitions to the English league. The move reflects the Chiefs' commitment to strengthening their team amid a tough season.
Premiership Rugby, the premier division of English rugby union, is currently in its 2024-25 season, featuring 13 clubs competing in a total of 24 matches. Each team plays every other team once at home and once away, with the top four teams advancing to the semi-finals. The league format includes 26 rounds followed by play-offs for the top four teams, while the top seven teams qualify for the Heineken Champions Cup.
As of January 13, 2025, the remaining fixtures for Rounds 12 to 18 of the Gallagher Premiership have been confirmed, although specific match results and standings were not detailed in the latest updates. The current champions, Northampton Saints, have enjoyed more success in recent seasons compared to the struggling Exeter Chiefs.
