The Jaunards can still believe in qualifying for the round of 16 in the event of success over the English “Bears”.
Clermont suffered a clear defeat at Bath (40-21) on Sunday, at the end of the third day of the Champions Cup and spent 55 minutes at 14 after the expulsion of its left pillar, Giorgi Akhaladze. The Auvergnats still scored three tries and pushed at the end of the match for the fourth, synonymous with an offensive bonus, in vain. With this second consecutive defeat in the competition, the Clermontois are penultimate in pool 2.
But ASM still has its chances of qualifying for the round of 16, provided it beats Bristol on the 4th and final day. This match between the Jaunards and “Bears” will take place on Saturday January 18 at the Marcel-Michelin stadium, kick-off at 4:15 p.m. A meeting to follow on the antennas of France 2 and beIN Sport 2. A live commentary will be available on Le Figaro Sport and provided by Sébastien Vau.
