Exeter Chiefs captain Tom Hayes has urged his side to play with no fear ahead of their Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final tonight.
The Devon outfit play Stade Francais in Paris tonight in a match that Hayes deems the "biggest game in the club's history".
Hayes said: "Stade Francais will pose a big threat, but these are the challenges that we have to face up to.
"Stade have always been one of the marquee names in French rugby, and there has been a lot of fanfare and glitz and glamour associated with them. Whether they will have any of that this week, I don't know.
"They do have an ability to score tries out of nowhere. They have some skilful players, and Felipe Contepomi and Sergio Parisse come to mind fairly quickly. These are the things we have to face up to and manage."
Chiefs currently sit fifth in the Aviva Premiership table and have lost just twice since the turn of the year.
