Fair call I thought

Clermont win the turnover but Rougerie is tackled into touch and that brings an end to the first half with Stade Francais going into the break leading 9-3 thanks to the boot of Morne Steyn. The second half will return in a couple of minutes so stay tuned for further updates and analysis.

Stade have a lineout on halfway in what will be the final play of the first half.

Clermont fans breath a sigh of relief as Lopez gets them off the mark.

Lopez will be taking this kick looking to put Clermont on the board.

Interception from Fritz Lee and he is tackled just short of the Stade 22. The ball is recycled to Rougerie but he gets far too much on the kick with Dupuy able to touch down. We will go back to the advantage with Parra hoping to make it third time lucky from the tee.

Clermont beginning to get more and more into the game and following a Parra kick they go from their own 22 to the Stade 22. However when Rougerie is hit hard there is little support for him and Stade win the penalty. Steyn boots into the Clermont half once again.

Halftime team talk will sort Clermont

Great scrum once again from Stade and they win a penalty. Steyn brings the Parisians into the Clermont half.

At last we see some attacking brilliance from Clermont with Rougerie finding a gap in the Stade defence but his pass to Abendanon is forward and Stade will have the scrum.
