TOP 14 HIGHLIGHTS: Union Bordeaux Begles Vs Clermont Auvergne
Full time at the Stade Chaban-Delmas and the two sides could not be separated. Clermont chased the entire game with Maxime Lamothe going over the line in the 14th minute once Clermont were down two men, both of which receiving yellow cards for silly penalties. Lamothe forced his way over the try after a strong maul with Jalibert adding the extras. It did not take Clermont long to respond with Tim Nanai-Williams breaking through the Bordeaux defence before producing a wonder offload to Aliverti Raka who sent Damian Penaud on his way to score. Jalibert and Morgan Parra traded shots at goal before Jalibert gave his side a three point lead into the break.
Both defences stood firm in the second half with either side also having their struggles at lineout time meaning that the only points scored would come via the boot. Parra leveled the scores at 13 apiece before the hour mark before Jalibert gave his side the lead once again on the hour mark.
