Sunday's European Champions Cup predictions

Toulouse's nine-ten-15 combination of Antoine Dupont, Romain Ntamack and Thomas Ramos is probably the best playmaking axis in rugby. The France trio clicked to beat Ulster 61-21 last Sunday and can shine again at Exeter. 

The Chiefs are yet to win in this season's Premiership and began their Champions Cup campaign with a 39-21 defeat at Sharks.

Henry Slade returns for Exeter and was part of the team that beat Toulouse on the way to winning this competition in 2020, but he also played in last season's 64-26 quarter-final defeat in France.

Toulouse went on to claim a record sixth European Champions Cup and can maintain their momentum with another dominant victory at Sandy Park.

In the early fixtures, Bath have rung the changes but might still be good enough to get a result on the road against Benetton Treviso, while Saracens can back up their opening success against Bulls by beating Stade Francais while giving away a seven-point start.

However, Glasgow could be the side to watch. The reigning URC champions outclassed Sale in their opening 38-19 win and will look to take the game to Toulon, who caused the shock of the opening round in beating Stormers 24-14.

Both have made changes but the Warriors have a strong bench, so if they hang in until the hour mark, a losing bonus point might be attainable.
