Clermont starts strong against UBB

A fanfare start for the Jaunards! After several periods of play, Christophe Urios' men found themselves in front of the UBB goal line. Baptiste Jauneau saw the move to be made on the short left side.

The scrum half gave Gus Sowakula Ribbon. The All Blacks flanker fixed his sights with an offload over his opponent's head for Joris Jurand who scored the first try of the match.

A Chistera by Alex Newsome

After a second first-hand try at 14^e minute (12-3), Clermont continued its momentum against the second of the Top 14. Installed in the Bordelo-béglais camp, the Auvergnats scored a third try in corner via Bautista Delguy which was served by Alex Newsome on a masterful chistera.
