Montpellier got off to a perfect start in Pool Three of the Amlin Challenge Cup with a 20-13 win over Exeter at Sandy Park.

An early Dimitri Pelo converted try put the visitors in the driving seat as Exeter struggled to get a hold on the game.

Montpellier fly-half Raphael Lagarde kept the scoreboard ticking over to give them a 13-6 half-time lead, the Chiefs only points coming from the boot of Ryan Davis.

Seta Tuilevuka struck with a devastating try shortly after the interval to blow the hosts away.

But the Chiefs came back and scored a try of their own thanks to Chad Slade in the final minutes.

Davis kept his cool and converted to snatch an unlikely losing bonus point
