Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this Top 14 clash between Clermont and Bayonne at the Stade Marcel Michelin. With the 6 Nations on hold this weekend, our attention returns to the domestic game in France. Hosts, Clermont, currently sitting in second, will really be looking for all 5 points here, as Bayonne have never really gotten their season off the ground, currently residing at the bottom of the table. With players away on international duty, both sides have still managed to field very strong teams, so let's hope this game doesn't disappoint. Stay tuned for live updates.
