Full time and Clermont, despite a weakened squad, add another victory to their impressive tally. It was a game that looked like it could swing either way but increased Bordeaux indiscipline handed Clermont opportunities which they capitalised on. They will take the top spot for now. Thanks for following this evening with Ultimate Rugby.

Bordeaux not releasing on their 10 meter gifting James another opportunity to extend the lead. he makes no mistakes.

James furthers Clermonts' lead from another penalty. Bordeaux finding themselves slipping as the final 10 minutes approach.

TRY! After the initial break from Etienne Falgoux the ball is spun wide the John Ulugia who shows greta power and pace to break the tackle and touch down under the posts. James converts.

The newly introduced James makes it 18-23 after an offside offence from Bordeaux.

Brilliant long range effort from Ulrich Beyers to extend his sides lead.

Following a missed Beauxis penalty Fritz Lee collects the 22 drop out and gains 25 meters with a surging run. he finds support and Clermont reach the Bordeaux 22. A scrambling Bordeaux defence is pinged for not releasing in the tackle and Delany reduces the gap. Exciting play from the home side.

The Clermont front row are penalised and the visitors clear to half way.

Straight away Clermont reclaim from the restart and surge into the Bordeaux 22. There is a knock on however and Bordeaux now have the put in 10 meters from the their line.

Perfect start for Bordeaux as Beauxis drops into the pocket and lands a brilliant drop goal.
