Nervy start from the visitors with Mathieu Ugalde 's clearance blocked down and nearly resulting in the first try of the game. Scrum Clermont, 10 metres from Bayonne line

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Top 14 with ASM Clermont hosting Bayonne at the fortress that is Stade Marcel Michelin. Clermont maintained their three-year unbeaten record on home soil (61 consecutive matches) with a hard earned victory over Toulouse on the weekend. In a perfect response to last week's humbling defeat to newcomers Oyonnax, Les Juanards outscored the 19 times champions by four tries to one. Cotter and his team will feel pretty confident they can bag another win here this evening. They face a Bayonne outfit that were pulverised by same Toulouse side only a week and half ago. Tonight’s visitors were also somewhat lucky in their win on Saturday last with Perpignan obtaining 3 yellow cards in the second half and Joe Rokocoko grabbing an opportunistic try to seal the victory. Can Bayonne defy the odds and finally bring this record to an end? It’s a long shot but you can never say never in this game. The match is just about to kick off, I hope you enjoy the action here this evening!
