Camille Lopez gets us underway!

Both sides enter the field for the first half.

Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this all French pool clash between Clermont Auvergne and Bordeaux Begles at the Stade Marcel Michelin. Clermont, currently sitting on 14 points, need a crucial bonus point win to see them advance into the latter stages of the competition. Qualification for the knock-out stages is out of the question for the visitors but they will certainly be looking to play for confidence in returning to the domestic league. With a bonus point victory a requirement for Clermont, we're surely in for a very exciting contest.

Clermount for bonus point??

Clermont have won their last 25 home fixtures in Europe, a record that stands since October 2008.

Bordeaux are yet to defeat French opposition in Europe yet, losing all 3 previous fixtures.
