Great result for Clermont as they claim a win they probably deserved. A win away from home has been long coming after failing to win away after the first week of matches in the Top 14 when they defeated Biarritz. Perpignan were always in the game and will be disappointed only to be going home with one point after stating that a win tonight was a must. They will know that they cannot afford to lose many more matches at home this season if they want to claim a play-off spot come the end of the season. With so many injuries in the Clermont squad a win tonight was huge for them, they have one of the strongest squads in the league and even with so many injuries they have so many quality players to choose from. They will now put the pressure on Toulon who travel to Stade Francais tomorrow.

From the restart Perpignan take it quickly and get some luck when A Clermont hand puts the ball in touch and they quickly take it. They look to gain territory but a knock on occurs and the referee has seen enough and blows the full time whistle as Clermont Hang on for the win.

Super pressure from Clermont they are suffocating Perpignan and not letting them out of they're half with some strong tackling and great defending, James kicks into the corner and Clermont will look to keep the ball there.

James gets the conversion with Perpignan fans silent.

Substitute James Bring Clermont closer to Perpignan's lead with a penalty following Perpignan failing to roll away. exciting last 15 minutes to come.

Great try from Perpignan and great try from Sofiane Guitoune, the winger he was impressive for France in they're games against Samoa and South Africa, he picks up the ball and charges for the line and is tacked by 4 Clermont shirts but it makes no difference and he find the line in the corner, great strength from the big man and a huge try for Perpignan. Hook gets the kick from the corner.

What Brilliant play from Rougerie. Lopez spreads the ball to Wandile Mjekevu and he uses his pace one more and kicks the ball and runs ahead and he looks certain to get the ball but Rougerie slides tackles and kicks the ball dead, last ditch defending. there.

Clermont get the try eventually from the resulting scrum, Clermont get a free kick for an early engage from Perpignan and as the play goes on Lacrampe picks and goes from a ruck and goes over under the post and Delany adds the extras
