Pool 4
Exeter Chiefs 68 v 0 I Cavalieri Prato
Exeter Chiefs got their Amlin Challenge Cup campaign back on track this afternoon with a convincing 68 v 0 victory over Italian side I Cavalieri Prato.
The Chiefs narrowly lost out to French side Perpignan in the opening round last weekend but were on top form at Sandy Park scoring 10 tries.
The hosts raced to an early lead, Ben White going over for the opening try after just two minutes. Argentina fly-half Ignacio Mieres converted and then slotted two further penalties before the match was 10 minutes old.
Cavalieri lost Emanuele Leonardi to the sin-bin and the Chiefs made the most of their advantage with Joseph Tatupu grabbing the first of his two scores.
As the first half drew to a close, the Italian side were again reduced to 14 men and again Exeter made the most of the situation, this time collecting two tries, the first a penalty and then a score from James Phillips.
The second period started the same way the first ended with two early tries. Tatupu grabbed his second and then Mark Foster went over.
Chris Bentley then touched down before Exeter were awarded a second penalty try. Phillips grabbed his second score with five minutes to go and full-back Jack Nowell rounded off the scoring.

Worcester came away from Parma with the five points they were looking for but they were made to work hard for the victory by a spirited Italian side.
The visitors dominated the opening and were rewarded with an early Danny Gray penalty.
Gray then added the conversion to go with Josh Drauninu's 13th minute try. Full-back Chris Pennell grabbed the second with Gray also converting.
Three minutes later Tom Arscott touched down for the visitors and then Crociati got on the scoresheet with a Jacopo Zucconi penalty.

Pool 2
Lyon 19 v 26 RC Toulon
Toulon won the all French encounter at Lyon, making it two wins from two in this season's tournament.
The visitors opened the scoring with a Julien Dumora penalty and Lyon then responded in kind five minutes later with Romain Loursac kicking three points for the hosts.
In a tight first quarter Dumora kicked his second penalty to give the visitors the lead once more but Lyon fly-half Xavier Sadourny drew the scores level with a 21st minute drop-goal.
Toulon centre Gabi Lovobalavu grabbed the opening try and Dumora's conversion gave Toulon a 13 v 6 lead.
Lyon and Loursac hit back with a penalty, but it was Dumora who had the final say of the half, kicking another penalty just before the break.
Loursac kicked a 53rd minute penalty to reduce the deficit to three points but Toulon responded almost immediately with replacement Johnny Wilkinson successful with his first shot at goal.
Christian Loamanu then touched down for the visitors. Wilkinson converted but it was the hosts who had the last say Jean-Philippe Bonrepaux scoring late on.
