We take a look at the Exeter team's performance on Sunday after losing 64-26 to Toulouse in the Investec Champions Cup quarter-finals at the Stade Ernest Wallon.
Exeter player ratings vs Toulouse
15 Josh Hodge: They never retreated, but were regularly chasing shadows in the second half when Toulouse broke through a rather weak Exeter defence. Hodge missed four tackles of his own and finished with 37 meters on seven carries. Four
14 Immanuel Faye-Waboso: He quickly showed his quality once again, causing Toulouse a lot of problems with his power and dynamism. Fay-Waboso has a bright future ahead of him at both club and international level, with the England star beating four defenders and scoring 58 meters on seven carries. 6
13 Henry Slade: Exeter came close to scoring early on and were the real leaders and had a good first half. Unfortunately, things fell apart after the break, with Chiefs' midfield proving to be lacking defensively. However, Slade played brilliantly from the tee and, coupled with a great try assist, raised his mark even further. 6
Champions Cup: Semi-final rankings and dates decided
12 Ollie Devoto: They finished second to an impressive Toulouse midfield that featured Paul Costes and Pita Aki. He was replaced in the 51st minute by the impressive Zach Wimbush. Four
11 Olly Woodburn: It was busy early on as he walked around the field as usual. It was a great comeback for him in difficult conditions for his team, as he completed 12 carries for 55 meters, including beating three defenders. Solid under the highball. Five
10 Harvey Skinner: You don't want to see the replay of the first try in the back row being deflected by Jack Willis. His distribution in possession was fluid early on until Toulouse started attacking. It will be exchanged on the hour. Four
9 Tom Cairns: It was a tough battle at home, with Toulouse's strong pack often floundering under the immense pressure they exerted at the breakdown. Four

Toulouse vs. Exeter: 'Outstanding' lock dominates Chiefs, takes five points from each half in Champions Cup quarter-final
8 Ross Vincent: Despite a hard effort in the first half, Vincent was unable to fully reproduce his recent fine form. He was sent off early in the second half due to an HIA, but Greg Ficilau did not return to replace him. Four
7 Christ Tsinza: It was a noticeably quiet day at the Wales national team office as the hosts' back row dominated the opposition's players. 3
6 Ethan Roots: They showed physicality early on and were rewarded with a try. Although he made a mistake in the second half, hitting a shot from the line to create the hole for Aki's first try, Roots can be proud of his effort. In addition to 14 tackles, he also completed 15 30-meter carries, an incredible change. 6
5 Dafydd Jenkins: He, like the rest of this young Chiefs team, will learn a lot from this tough loss. Despite occasionally showing disappointment at his team's plight, Jenkins emptied the tank and led the charge. Five
4 Luci Tuima: The 23-year-old, who scored a try for Root with a superb inside ball, is another young Chiefs with a bright future. He put up a good start against the monster Emmanuel Mairfoux, but the Toulouse man improved as the match went on, and in a tough learning experience, Tuima did the opposite. Four
previous row
3 Ehren Painter: Painter, who continues to prove to be a shrewd catch from Northampton Saints, was impressively solid against Cyril Bayle and when he was substituted, the slight advantage Exeter had at the scrum It was notable that he appeared to have lost his. 6
2 Jack Yandle: Exeter also deserve credit for their early success in scrum time, while Yandle found his men with his darts. His hour filled with coal seams. Five
1 Scott Sio: He helped establish a strong foothold in the scrum, but was not as busy with the ball in his hands when Exeter needed special performances from their forward players. Four
Replacement: Toulouse did not improve after the break, and apart from Wimbush, no one on the Exeter bench had much of an impact on the game. At 20 years old, it looks like he has a bright future ahead of him. 3
