The gulf between the top French sides and the Premiership's lower reaches grows wider by the week, with Toulouse and Bordeaux displaying their superior skills against Exeter.
Maxime Lucu, despite not making France's best XV, exhibited outstanding performance, scoring two tries and effectively exploiting Exeter's weaknesses throughout the match.
Players like Damian Penaud, who netted a hat-trick, and other French stars reveal that English rugby must acknowledge the significant gap in quality with the Top 14.
Exeter's only bright moment was Paul Brown-Bampoe's stunning long-range try, showcasing a rare flash of brilliance in an otherwise one-sided match.
