- Pool A: Exeter 42-6 Montpellier
- Chiefs open defence of Champions Cup crown with victory
Jonny Gray pulled Exeter out of their stupor and put his shoulder to the wheel with a hat-trick to subdue an understrength Montpellier and get his team off to an encouraging start in Europe.
The Scottish second-row scored twice in 11 second-half minutes and added his third on the hour as he showed no ill-effects of the shoulder surgery that has curtailed his start to the season.
