Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

Cynical foul from the LeBourhis who tackles a Clermont player before he receives the ball deep in his 22. Clermont go quick through their pack. The ball is recycled to Stanley who takes contact and offloads to LaCrampe for a consolation try

Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

Sloppy play from Davies who throws a loose pass. Connor is first to react. Two passes later Marais is charging towards the line to secure the try bonus point

Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

A very strong maul crashes over the Clermont line. Maynadier pops up with the ball. Not a bad first touch for the hooker.

Off the back of an advantage Beauxis opts for a drop goal. But it flies wide. We come back for a penalty which the fly half sends to the corner

With a penalty on the Bordeaux 22, James knocks the ball to the corner as they try to prevent Bordeaux getting the try bonus point

Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

Great play out wide from Bordeaux. Beauxis spots the rush defence lacking out wide and floats a lovely pass over the heads of the Clermont defence. After passing through a couple of delicate hands Talebula finishes in the corner. The try bonus point is back on for Bordeaux

Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

That try from Nalaga now means that Bordeaux need another try to secure the try bonus point.

Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

Poor error from Clermont. Just after narrowing the gap to 10 points, Bonnaire fails to gather the kick off and is caught offside. Bernard makes no mistake with the kick in front of the posts

Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

After going quick from a tap penalty Clermont cross the whitewash for a possible try. But we're checking the TMO to see if Nalaga managed to ground the ball

Ultimate Rugby Oct 10

James with a half break to bring Clermont upto within 10m of the Bordeaux line. A try here would set up for a interesting final 25 minutes
