No banter of the feed?!?

First scrum and Thomas Domingo wins a penalty over Ducalcon. Clermont's early dominance continues.

Clermont are proving why they have dominated this competition over the last 2 seasons. The men from the south attacking relentlessly. Racing defence still standing strong.

We saw them practicing in the warm up - James puts a little chip in 10m from the Racing line. The men in baby blue did well in defence and the siege is lifted as Byrne was 'in front of the kicker'.

Brock James gets us under way in Clermont's away strip. Immediately the away side are on the attack in the Racing 22.
