The empty look on Ellis Genge’s face at the final whistle in Bristol on Friday night said it all as his director of rugby Pat Lam admitted a seven-try humbling by Exeter was completely unacceptable.

Genge’s return to Ashton Gate from Leicester this summer started in fairy-tale fashion on the opening day of the season, but this was more of a nightmare as the England prop was yellow carded and penalised twice by referee Christophe Ridley for backchat. Genge’s sinbinning was crucial.

It allowed Exeter to score 14 points and from there, Bristol imploded on what was a chastening evening for Lam and his players.
