When these two sides met earlier in the season in this tournament, Clermont came out on top of the high scoring 49-33 encounter. Today is certainly set up to be a similar affair. Stay tuned for live updates as we await kick off.

Clermont find themselves top of Pool 5 with 17 points, and a win here would guarantee qualification for the French outfit. For Bordeaux, it is still mathematically possible to qualify, but to keep those hopes alive a bonus point win is almost essential.
