Champions Cup – 4'58 min, 46 passes… The crazy figures from the last action of Clermont – Bristol

ASM Clermont won this Saturday against Bristol after the last action of the match, completely crazy, which lasted several minutes and which saw the ball change hands several times.

Clermont was scared. The Auvergnats were held in check in the 80th minute of the match against Bristol this Saturday, when the Jaunards were penalized in a scrum in the opposing 22 meters. The Bears opted for the penalty and benefited from a throw from their forty meters. The ball will then be stolen by Christophe Urios' players and an exceptional action will begin to offer victory, on the wire, to the ASM.

4’58 min

The match had started since 80 minutes and 38 seconds when the Clermont team won the match point on a throw from their English opponent. Benjamin Urdapilleta's teammates found the resources to chain the playing times and find the fault in the English defense at the 85th minute and 36 secondsafter a long action of four minutes and 58 seconds.

3 turnovers

This final action was not one-sided. The ball changed hands several times making the final minutes suffocating. Clermont stole the ball the first time on the sideline at the origin of the action. After a lot of playing time, Bristol recovered the ball, made two passes, before losing the ball again in a ruck. So there was three turnovers during the last four minutes.

0 faults

The Clermontois would have taken advantage of a lack of discipline from their opponent to attempt a penalty in the last moments to win. However, the English, like the Auvergnats, did not commit absolutely no fault during this decisive action.
