Welcome to this round 21 fixture between Clermont Aucergne and Brive here at Stade Marcel Michelin! Both teams are relatively evenly matched with Clermont having taken three of the last five matches between the teams. With that being the case, it's actually Brive who have had the better later form against their opponents, taking three wins in their last five with Clermont only taking two. This match promises to be a big one with Clermont needing the points to stay competitive against the likes of Racing who are on the same points as them but a place up. Brive won't make it easy though which means we'll have a good game on our hands! Join us for live events and running commentary!
