After all his good work in defence Felix LeBourhis is pinged for not releasing on the deck.

The home side level matter through Bernard with a well taken penalty. Some hard work in defense Felix LeBourhis and Talebula pays dividends for Bordeaux

Bordeaux will be pleased to escape that wave of Clermont attack having only conceded 3 points.

No hanging about from Clermont. James sends a penalty down the line to set up a 5m lineout

Brock James gets us underway!

Teams are out on the pitch, kick off coming up momentarily!

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of round 8 of the Top 14. Our first match of the day sees Bordeaux Begles play host to Clermont at Stade Chaban Delmas.
Clermont will be seeking revenge after Bordeaux ended what was a record breaking run of successive victories at home for Clermont last year. It will be no easy task however as Raphael Ibañez's side have beaten both Racing and Montpellier at home this year.
Both sides have named strong sides as they both look to continue their strong run of form into October.
KO coming up in 15 minutes.
