Exeter Chiefs put in a sparkling display to kick-off their Anglo-Welsh Cup campaign with a bang.
Ricky Pellow's side were all fired up on their way to a seven-try success against visiting Northampton Saints in this Round One opener at Sandy Park.
Summer signings Toby Salmon (2), James Freeman and Tom O'Flaherty were all on the mark for Devon's finest, as were James Short, Alec Hepburn and Elvis Taione.
Fly-half Joe Simmonds completed the job by converting four of the scores to give the Chiefs the perfect start to this season's tournament.
With just a week to go until the third Exeter Foundation evening with Michael Caines MBE, the menu and accompanying wine has been confirmed.

Ingredients have been sourced locally, including chicken from Darts Farm, vegetables from Dart Fresh and a selection of South West cheeses. The complementary wine has been specially selected to match each course by...
Ricky Pellow insists it will be healthy mix of ‘youth and experience’ that will lead Exeter Chiefs into battle ahead of tomorrow’s Anglo-Welsh Cup opener against Northampton Saints at Sandy Park (3pm).
With Premiership and European matters put on the back burner for the next fortnight, Devon’s finest will now be looking to continue their rich vein of form on a third front against the visiting Midlanders.
In a competition which has served the Chiefs well over the years - Exeter have played in the last three Cup finals, including defeating the Saints in 2014 to lift the...

The event, taking place on November 9th 2017, will include an especially devised seasonal five-course menu prepared by the two chefs on the night with complementary wines. The chefs will introduce each course and a Q&A session will add...
Rob Baxter had called for his Exeter Chiefs side to “stand and deliver” and they did just that as they kicked off their European Champions Cup campaign with a hard fought victory over Glasgow Warriors at Sandy Park.
Tries from forwards Harry Williams, Jonny Hill and Sam Simmonds paved the way for Exeter’s success in this Pool 3 opener, while Gareth Steenson completed the job by adding a further nine points with the boot.
Exeter’s win - only their second-ever in the first round of the Champions Cup - was certainly a notable scalp against a Warriors side, who arrived in Devon...
Rob Baxter insists the only target he has given his players ahead of their European Champions Cup campaign is to deliver “six Exeter Chiefs-type performances”.
A simple message of sorts, but one the Chiefs’ Director of Rugby is keen to see implemented, particularly as Exeter have too often been found guilty of sluggish starts against Europe’s elite clubs.
Tomorrow night, the reigning Aviva Premiership champions have the chance to kick-off the new season in style, playing host to rivals Glasgow Warriors at Sandy Park (7:45pm).
Exeter forwards coach Rob Hunter says the Chiefs are fully prepared for the threat posed by Newcastle Falcons, who visit Sandy Park in tomorrow’s Aviva Premiership encounter (3pm).
Five weeks into the new season and the North East outfit have been the talk of the town, after a stunning start which has seen them net four victories from five starts to date.
Second in the table, level on points with leaders Northampton Saints, the Falcons fly South this weekend looking to add the scalp of the reigning champions, who themselves are looking for an instant pick-me-up following...
Shaun Malton insists competition for places within the Exeter Chiefs squad is helping to drive up standards week by week.
The South African hooker got his first taste of Aviva Premiership action this season, coming off the bench to score one of his side's five tries in their 31-17 victory over Wasps at Sandy Park.
His touchdown, coupled with scores for Olly Woodburn (2), Dave Dennis and Don Armand, were the key highlights in another polished performance from the champions, who remain in pole position after four rounds of the season.
If this was the first real acid test of Exeter’s title credentials this season, then the Chiefs passed it with flying colours, brushing aside the attentions of visiting Wasps at Sandy Park.
Rob Baxter’s side maintained pole position in the Aviva Premiership with a powerful, five-try victory that will have been noted with interest across the division by their top flight rivals.
