Winger Jack Arnott described scoring with his first touch on his Exeter Chiefs league debut as 'sensational'.
The 21-year-old was a replacement for Sunday's Aviva Premiership match against London Welsh and crossed within minutes of making his way into the field at the Kassam Stadium.
That was one of seven tries his side scored as they ran amok to claim a 52-0 win against the newly-promoted Exiles.
And Devonian Arnott said: "I couldn't ask for much more, that's for sure.
"It was a fantastic performance all round and to get a try and make my debut made it a sensational day."
Arnott was one of nine debutants for the Chiefs on Sunday, with Thomas Waldrom (2) and Chrysander Botha also marking the occasion with tries.
The other scores came from Dave Ewers, Sam Hill and Ian Whitten, with Gareth Steenson and Henry Slade kicking the rest of the points.
While delighted to be named in the squad for the opening round of league games, Arnott knows he got his chance thanks to injuries to fellow wingers Jack Arnott, Tom James and Fetu'u Vainikolo.
"It's obviously a really good pat on the back, but I think it shows the level of training that has been put in over pre-season," said Arnott, who is dual registered with hometown club Plymouth Albion.
"Injuries have helped me to be here. You don't wish an injury on anyone, but I think I'm fortunate enough to be in this position and I've got to make very chance count.
"I think Sunday went pretty well so it's a case now of pushing forward with that."
As well as keeping his feet on the ground himself, Arnott said Exeter's squad were not getting carried away by their win against London Welsh.
With Leicester making the trip to the expanded Sandy Park this Saturday, everyone in the camp knows a tougher test lies in store.
"We were all ecstatic," he said of the reaction on Sunday. "To go away from home and put 50 points plus on a team is fantastic, but we know it was only week one.
"We've got a big game this week so heads are staying level."
Head coach Rob Baxter praised the way Arnott slotted into the team, having had his chances limited over recent seasons due to injuries.
"Jack has had quite a frustrating period for a little while due to on and off injuries and not being able to put a long run of matches together and get really up to speed and feel comfortable with everything," said Baxter.
"He did a bit for us in pre-season and on Sunday he fitted straight in and came up with a really good play, and after that he was very sound defensively as well.
"There's a lot of good points to these lads. They work extremely hard and I'm a big believer that they get what they deserve. The guys who tend to be the most professional, work the hardest and are most diligent tend to be the ones who come through.
"Jack was ready to go when he had an opportunity. His battle now is to make sure he performs at a level where he gets plenty of opportunities."
