Ball is knocked on and its a powerful scrum from Montpellier who win a penalty and send it back into Clermonts half
Fritz Lee gathers the restarts and breaks straight through the heart of the Montpellier defence and brings the ball just outside his opponents 22
Not a great decison. More head against head than headbut.
Clermont try to maul it but Montpellier illegally bring it down
Clermont win a penalty and kick to the corner
Brilliant start to the second half by Clermont. Brilliant charge by Fritz Lee who offloads to Nalaga who for the third time today is brought down just before the line. This time Sivivatu is in support and just picks the ball up and puts it down over the line
Referee has a quiet word with Trinh-Duc and Rougerie before the second half kicks off
Refereeing is ridiculous ...
Tripped up Nalaga off the ball
The referee calls a halt to an action packed first half. Clermont took advantage of an early Montpellier sin binning to score the first try of the game. Then after Para was sent off for a "headbutt" on Ranger, who was also sin binned for his tackle on Para, Clermont reacted incredibly well as they scored 2 tries in a matter of minutes, with the injustice of the sending off firing them up. If the second half is anything like the first we wlil surely have the most exciting game of this years Top 14 on our hands
