Try Brive! Some great offloading by their outside backs allowe winger Elia Radikedike to sprint home. A great start for the home side.

Brive look to have scored a try but the TMO is checking for a forward pass.

There is a bit of kick tennis going on but eventually it settles down and Brive now have a lineout in their own half.

Clermont recover well from the penalty and now have a lineout in the Brive half.

Germain kicks the penalty from right in front and Brive have an early lead.

Nathan Hines has been sent to the bin for a high tackle and Brive have a penalty.

Clermont start well and Wesley Fofana gets right back into the swing of things after his injury. He picks a great line off of Brock James' pass and gets into the Brive 22. James then tries a grubber kick but Brive clear the ball.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of Brive vs Clermont. The home side know that a win over leaders Clermont will cement their Top 14 status and possibly put them in the mix for a place in the playoffs. As for Clermont, they will be full of confidence after last week's win over Toulon. However, with a Heineken Cup quarter final against Leicester next weekend, perhaps Clermont might try to conserve some energy. Brive are one point favourites so expect a tight encounter.
