In a tightly contested first half it's Clermont who take a slender 13-12 lead over Brive into halftime. Clermont scored the only try of the half through Rougerie with ten minutes to play after some great work by both backs and forwards alike, while the boot of Germain has accounted for all of Brives points. Not much to separate the sides, everything to play for in the second forty.
