Bayonne scored 3 tries and are 19-7 up before halftime.

Are likely to play Montpellier now?

Many decent sides dropping down from the champions cup?

26-7 now. Exeter need to score 27 unanswered points for it not to be montpellier away.

Are they?

As things stand in their respective leagues, Sale will be looking for the top 4 and Bayonne are in the relegation picture.

If we play Montpellier and win, then away to Clermont / home to Cheetahs as things stand.

20th out of 24, although Bristol would also finish above us on a strict head to head.

Montpellier are playing Lorient at footy that weekend.

I don’t think that’s Leyton Orient.

Didn’t really take to the city when I saw Quins play there a couple of years ago.

Manchester.

Still, I’m sure the players are hurting far more.
They’ve been on the runway in Manchester for five hours….

No doubt others have had their flights back cancelled too.

Hang in there guys!
