    FT: Exeter 28-18 Toulouse

    Glee unbound in the Exeter ranks as they line up to cheer off the Toulouse players.

    Stuart Hogg - a relative newbie at Sandy Park - hugs his team-mates and ruffles hair. Days like this are why he moved south...

    Exeter 28-18 Toulouse

    Alexi Bales throws a lovely no-look pass. He was looking at the scoreboard at the other end when he chucked it. One problem, it was about four yards forward.

    He shakes his head. Toulouse are heading for defeat.

    Matthis Lebel (con Ramos)

    Surely too little too late?

    Toulouse uncork some of the slippery free-flowing rugby. It is like trying to pin down mercury for the Exeter defence. Replacement wing Matthis Lebel cuts inside under the posts to cut the Chiefs' lead to 10.

    Joe Simmonds (con J Simmonds)

    The Chiefs are on their way.

    The Toulouse defence is on the back foot after a searing break from Tom O'Flaherty. The wing is halted by a tap tackle. But the visiting defence never resets properly.

    Joe Simmonds is able to cut inside a forward replacement and scamper in under the sticks. He converts his own score and the hosts are surely out of sight.

    Exeter 21-11 Toulouse

    A lovely first involvement from Ollie Devoto, who checks the Toulouse defensive line with a dummy and then thrown the long, looping mis-pass perfectly into the stride of Stuart Hogg. Hogg gives it to Tom O'Flaherty. The wing's pass is grabbed by Thomas Ramos who might have been in at the other end if he had held on.

    This is on a tightrope.

    Springbok hot-stepper Cheslin Kolbe is replaced by Zack Holmes.

    Ben Moon, Don Armand and Ollie Devoto are into the fray for Chiefs.

    Exeter 21-11 Toulouse

    This is getting really open. A succession of quick turnovers after Tom O'Flaherty gets a big fend in on Thomas Ramos. Toulouse spin wide, but Jack Nowell has got the opposite wing locked down...

    Exeter 21-11 Toulouse

    Toulouse break into open air with Romain Ntamack carving through! Exeter are chasing back. Play swings back to the other wing. Alban Placines is up to within a metre...

    And Sam Simmonds somehow gets over the top to pin the ball and secure the turnover with the whitewash at his heels.

    Exeter 14-11 Toulouse

    Cheslin Kolbe runs straight into Sam Simmonds at full whack. The Toulouse wing does mind a bit of pinball in among the forwards.

    Harry Williams (con J Simmonds)

    Try stands!

    The replay couldn't untangle the mountain of limbs. We stick with the on-field decision which was try.

    Exeter move more than a converted score. Make that 10 as Joe Simmonds lands the conversion.

    Toulouse are defending as though they are backed up to a cliff edge...

    Exeter are within a metre...

    And they have the penalty advantage...

    Exeter 14-11 Toulouse

    Toulouse repel Exeter's initial surge.

    But the Chiefs stil have the ball and are mustering their troops once more...

    Exeter 14-11 Toulouse

    Stuart Hogg with a delicious break!

    Ball inside! Jack Maunder with the line beckoning and only the cover to beat. But the scrum-half slips!

    Toulouse infringe as they chase back.

    Exeter kick to the corner as they look to turn the screw...

    Exeter 14-11 Toulouse

    Romain Ntamack chips wide and weighs it with atomic precision. Yoann Huget takes it on the burst. He is snared just before the line.

    Exeter chasing back, defence stretched thin. But Toulouse fumble forward to waste the opportunity.

    If you mixed Toulouse's ability to make something out of nothing and Exeter's ruthlessness in the red zone you would have the world's best team.

    Exeter 14-11 Toulouse

    A bit of skulduggery caught on the replay with Julien Marchand getting away with a punch to the body of Jonny Gray in close quarters. It's a big target and he doesn't miss. The officials missed it at full speed.

    Exeter 14-11 Toulouse

    Great chase work from the Exeter forwards. They get right under Jack Maunders box-kick. Jonny Gray smothers the catching Cheslin Kolbe, Jonny Hill is over the top to claim the turnover.
