Camille Lopez opened the scoring with a drop goal before Marcus Smith responded with a penalty. Lopez nailed another as Clermont struggled to breach the Harlequins defence before Morgan Parra slotted a penalty for the half hour mark.

Mike Brown fended off a few defenders to score with just two minutes left to play in the half. Parra made it 29-8 before the half ended. Parra added another three after the break before Chris Robshaw crashed over for the Quins as the visitors narrowed the gap to 17 points.
