Toulouse Form

Toulouse only reached the quarter-finals of the European Rugby Champions Cup last season, losing to rivals Bordeaux, 30-15.

Le Stade occupy first place in the French Rugby Championship standings with 24 points from six matches.

Earlier in their Top 14 campaign, Les Rouge et Noir lost 30-27 away to La Rochelle before beating Bordeaux 48-12 at home, Vannes 29-23 away, Montpellier 40-18 at home, Castres 8-7 away, and Bayonne 45-34 at home.

Toulouse will be aiming to win the Investec Champions Cup this season and will start confidently against Exeter, as their opponents have struggled during the opening stages of their campaign, and they have won their last three meetings against the Chiefs.

Exeter Form

Exeter performed well in the EPCR Challenge Cup last season, reaching the semi-finals of the competition, but came up short against Ulster, losing 29-12.

The Chiefs are currently eighth in the Premiership Rugby table with eight points after three rounds.

At the start of the PREM season, Exeter lost 45-24 to Gloucester at home and 40-34 away to Bath before beating Newcastle 34-28 at home.

The Exeter Chiefs have lacked consistency this season so far, and will have to play well against Toulouse in their own backyard, as they are on a six-match winning streak.
