Top 14 Highlights: Racing 92 vs Clermont
What was expected to be a humdinger of a game did not disappoint as both sides managed to keep the scoreboard ticking in the opening 10 minutes, Clermont managed to come out of this period with a 6 - 3 lead. What followed next was all Clermont as they gained a 20 -3 lead going into half time through two penalties conversions by Laidlaw, a drop goal by Lopez and a brilliantly worked try by Wesley Fofana.
Racing 92 did well to come back and started the second half strong with a try from Virimi Vakatawa which was then converted by Finn Russell. The rest of the half was pretty much Clermont as Laidlaw soon after added to penalties. Peter Betham and Damian Penaud then managed to crossover the line with Parra converting the latter's try. Parra then added a penalty. Ill-discipline also cost Racing the game as two of their players were sent to the sin bin. However they did manage to close the game off on a high not with a well-constructed try by Zebo and Iribaren adding the extras.
