  3. Exeter 26-23 Montpellier

    Montpellier have the penalty!

    Exeter steal it and think they are away but the visitors turn it over in the ruck.

    Try - Exeter 26-23 Montpellier

    Lenni Nouchi

    This time it stands and it's no less than Montpellier deserve.

    It's another Montpellier try chalked off.

    Try - Exeter 26-23 Montpellier

    Thomas Darmon

    Well well.

    Montpellier have the wind in their sails and keep the ball alive for Thomas Darmon to cross in the corner.

    But it's being checked for a potential knock on in the build-up.

  12. Exeter 26-18 Montpellier

    Now then.

    Montpellier make the break in midfield but Paolo Garbisi tries to launch the pass wide and it goes forward.

    Exeter have the penalty from the scrum and this will be popped into touch.

    Another try here will ease the pressure.

  16. Exeter 19-18 Montpellier

    This game is finely poised with twenty minutes to play. Exeter are holding the cards but Montpellier are still dangerous.

  17. Exeter 19-18 Montpellier

    Time for some aerial ping pong as both sides exchange kicks from deep inside their own territory.

    Paolo Garbisi

    Another penalty and another successful Paolo Garbisi kick.

  20. Exeter 14-15 Montpellier

    They may be down to 14 but Montpellier are digging in.

    The hosts need to do the basics right now and not lose the advantage of the extra man.
