Half time at the Stade Marcel Michelin and it appears nothing more then a training game from Clermont. 4 tries within the space of 40 minutes have given the hosts a 34 points to nothing lead at the break. Vosloo, Sivivatu and Nakaitaci have all touched down for the home side. Bayonne have simply had no answer to the terrific offensive display here this evening. Sivivatu and Fofana in particular have been deadly with ball in hand. Brock James appears to have his kicking boots on also with a lovely 6/6 score for Australian. Will Bayonne has any answer in the second half? Time will tell. We can expect to see a whole host of changes for Clermont as Cotter will look to preserve as well as experiment with a lead like that. Stay tuned for the second half!

TRY CLERMONT. Almost a carbon copy of their last!
