Good evening and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of this Champions Cup pool 2 clash as Bordeaux take on their top 14 rivals Clermont at Stade Jacques Chaban-Delmas. The last time these sides met Bordeaux pushed Clermont to a 26-26 draw in Stade Marcel Michelin. Since then they have racked up some impressive victories and have won 6 of their last 7 outings on their home patch. Scoring 20 tries in their last 7 games Bordeaux look a potent attacking threat and a bonus point win tonight would bring them up to second in the pool table. A win for Clermont however would give them the top spot and put them in good position for progression. Kick off is fast approaching so stay tuned for updates throughout.
