Five years ago Exeter were beating Toulouse en route to winning the Champions Cup, a sign of their past glory contrasting sharply with their current struggles.
To be fair to Exeter, the defending champions are in a sufficiently rich vein of form in this competition that it almost doesn't matter whom they are playing against.
Simply to watch Dupont play live is a privilege right now and, at times, he turned the Chiefs' players into virtual spectators as well.
From the Chiefs' struggling perspective, this record tournament thrashing was the most sobering of pre-Christmas outcomes.
