A straight red for headbutting.

Referee goes upstairs to investigate a fracas off the ball.

Clermont drive forward with a powerful maul. Abendanon picks a lovely line and slices through the Bordeaux line but is hauled down in the 22. Bordeaux are pinged at the breakdown and Parra will have another shot at goal.

Parra extends the lead.

UBB offside. Parra points to the posts.

Lopez's kick goes dead and Bordeaux return with a 22 meter drop out.

Space opens up in the Clermont defence but Lonca can't hold on to the pass from LeBourhis and so we'll have a Clermont scrum.

The second half is underway!

Half time- It's been a heavy hitting first half played at a high tempo but with it's fair share of mistakes as well. A late try from Lopez gives Clermont a 7 point cushion going into the second half but you can be sure Bordeaux will strike back. Stay tuned for further updates.
