Cudmore is penalised for a late hit and Beauxis levels the score.

Some football tennis being played before Baptiste Serin's kick trickles out on the Clermont 22.

Bordeaux awarded a penalty at halfway, they find touch at the Clermont 22 but Benat Auzqui is pinged at the breakdown and Clermont clear down field.

First scrum for Clermont as Peter Saili spills under the high ball.

Good start for the hosts. Bordeaux being forced to defend early and they give away a penalty for going off their feet at the breakdown. Delany splits the sticks.

Mike Delany gets the first half underway!

@Lee- On french TV at Canal +

Good evening and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's Top 14 coverage as Clermont host Bordeaux at Stade Marcel Michelin. Joint leaders Clermont will be hampered by the absence of as many as 13 first team players due to internationals and injury. They will no doubt still consider themselves favourites on their home turf where they have been beaten only once this season. Bordeaux will be quietly confident after they humiliated Clermont in the reverse fixture with a 30 point victory back in October. Kick off is 10 minutes off so stay tuned for updates throughout.

Is this game on TV please??
