Teams out on the pitch. Atmosphere is electric

Northampton find themselves in this tricky encounter having been beaten home and away by Racing Metro in the group stages, That will have come as a shock to a side who hold a substantial lead at the top of the Aviva Premiership, and will arrive in France full of confidence. George North is the only major absence, who takes a break from the game after a number of recent concussions

Good Afternoon and welcome to UR's live coverage of Clermont vs Northampton. Huge game in store here, both sides more than capable of claiming victory. Clermont arrive at the QF stage still in search of an elusive european title, but having come through a group that contained Saracens and Munster they will surely fancy their chances. They are at full strength besides the absence of Morgan Parra, who will be missed, but the home side still have the likes of Fofana and Davies to call upon.

Northampton have tasted victory in an away knockout game against a French club before. In 2007, they became the first and only English club to win an away quarter final against French opposition when they beat Biarritz 7-6 in San Seb.astian

Clermont have won their last three quarter finals in Europe's top flight and have won both their quarter finals against English opposition.
