How to watch Exeter Chiefs v Toulouse live on TV and full team news
Champions Cup games don't get any bigger than today's seismic clash between holders Toulouse and former winners Exeter Chiefs as the English side look to get off the mark in Europe in their second pool stage game of this year's competition.
Director of rugby Rob Baxter said that despite sitting bottom of the Gallagher Premiership, he hopes his side are one big performance away from turning around their season. He said: “I’m still one of these really positive people. I’ve seen groups of players in Exeter Chiefs teams achieve incredible things. I go into every game with an expectation that this is the opportunity for that to happen.
“That’s the beauty of sport – that you can go into a game and, if you get things right, then you can achieve things as a group that is almost beyond what anyone would think.

“I’m not going into this game against Toulouse with any other expectation than we’re going to try to win it. We’re not going into it just to see if we can hang in it, we’re going into it to win it.”
