A breathtaking end to the match. This is what the spectators experienced at the match between ASM Clermont and Union Bordeaux Bègles who won the match (35-40). The two teams are neck and neck in the first quarter of an hour of play with one try each, but the Bordelais will widen the gap until the break to lead 15-23. The Clermontois will then put in a high-class second half to be ahead by three points with a quarter of an hour to go. Except that the visitors will have a burst of efficiency by scoring two saving tries through Poirot and Samu to win. A magnificent success for the Bordelais who climb to second place in the ranking with 32 units. On the other hand, ASM (24 pts) misses the opportunity to come back two lengths from the top 6.
