Begles have a scrum soon after kickoff. Serin attempts to clear the ball downfield but mis-kicks it terribly into the Clermont defender. Fortunately for him, Clermont are unable to take advantage of the mistake and knock the ball on as they try to recover it off the ground. Scrum to Begles on their own 22m line.

The Begles attack has been on form today. They will be disappointed to not be further in the lead thus far.

Incredible teamwork on attack by Begles. The attack begins on halfway, they spread the ball wide and find gaps through Blair Connor who has been brilliant. Every phase they get over the advantage line before winning a penalty 5m from the tryline for offside at the ruck. They will take the easy 3 points.
