Exeter Chiefs face their debut tournament match on French soil with wing Matt Jess declaring they will adopt an attacking policy against runaway and unbeaten Pool 5 leaders ASM Clermont Auvergne.
The Chiefs' inaugural season in European club rugby's premier competition has seen them do the double over the Scarlets and hold defending champions Leinster to a three-point winning margin in Dublin.
Now they take their tournament bow in France at Stade Marcel Michelin on Saturday adamant they learnt some harsh lessons in their home 46-12 defeat by Vern Cotter's star-studded side.
The Chiefs have drawn one and lost two of their recent Premiership contests but Jess believes they only need to adjust and amend their game-plan for the matches with Clermont and Leinster.
"It is a change of competition now and we go to Clermont, who are a great side, and then Leinster at home," he said. "Those are two games that are not going to be easy at all.
"However, we will stay positive and that is one of the best things about this team.
"The break in competition allows us to focus on something different. We can go to Clermont and attack it as much as we can. We make no bones about it, we are going to try and win the game.
"Again, with Leinster, we will go out and try and win the game. If we go out half-heartedly, the games will slip past us.
"We try not to dwell on things and we will attack every game as it comes. The last couple of weeks have not gone our way and we were not quite good enough.
"There are no doubts about where we want to be as a team and a squad and the coaches have always said we are an ambitious team."
