Clermont bash the ball up after a scrum 5m out. Eventually it is van Tonder who gets over his defender and stretches over the line.

Clermont decline the easy 3 points and opt for a midfield scrum 5m from the Begles tryline. Massive opportunity to get back into this game.

Clermont have a scrum in the Begles 22m area. They attack the flyhalf channel and get within a metre of the tryline. Penalty to Clermont for the defensive line being offside.

Clermont have finally been able to put together an extended period of attack. The pressure is on the home side who is barricaded in their own 22m line.

Begles clear the ball but it is Clermont on the counter once again.

Finally Clermont make a break through the defence and put through a grubber kick for the corner. It was millimeters from being a try in the corner but Lonca snatches the ball.

Clermont are putting some phases together near halfway. Their inaccuracy in passes is not allowing them to get over the advantage line.

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Hard to believe but Begles have scored 10 points since being down to 14 men. Clermont have missed a huge opportunity.

The yellow card seems to have somehow galvanised the Begles team who yet again make a line break, this time through a brilliant offload in the tackle.

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Unbelievable response to the yellow card from Begles as they put major pressure on the Clermont defence and extend their lead with their second try of the match.
