Brett attempts a show and go but is well wrapped up by the Clermont defence. His support is slow to arrive and Clermont come away with possession

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

First try of the game and it's Rougerie who bags it! Lyon loose the ball forward on the deck. The Clermont pack hit it up and bring play to 2m short of the Lyon line. Lopez spots space out wide and feeds Rougerie to cross for a try

2 scores in quick succession and we're still level! First Basson was caught offside, affording Lopez the chance to take the league. Then a minute later Brett levels the game with a well taken DG

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

The ref seems very happy to ping every scrum. This time it goes the way of Clermont but Lopez can't mke the most of the opportunity

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Lyon get the upper hand at the most recent scrum but Brett cannot convert

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Another huge penalty from Brett, this time from 45m. Clermont will want to improve their discipline if Brett is on this kind of form

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Neither side really look like penetrating the opposition defence. Both sets of backs seem happy to put ball and earn some territory

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Scrappy start as both sides look to get a grip on the game. Some poor technique sees a Lyon player go start off his feet at a ruck and concedes a penalty

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Brett makes no mistake with his first attempt from long range after Lyon win a penalty at scrum time

Ultimate Rugby Sep 9

Clermont make an error from the restart, giving Lyon possession inside the 22. Chance for the awayside to put down an early sign of intent.
