Clermont-leicester

[Bernard]

Nice start from Clermont with a first nice handy try . But overall a bit too much of kicking for now ....

 

[Bullitt]

Lote Tuqiri is utter shite, Clermont go 10-3 up as the <strike>Fijian</strike> "Australian" Mercenary is made to look like a fool.

Just to confirm what we already know, Clermont are class, and Nalaga is one of the best in the world, awesome try!

 

[Bullitt]

Lulz @ Mauger. He really is ****! :lol:

 

[Bernard]

Otherwise it is on skysport but i guess you know...


2nd try for Clermont ..15-6 . Strange impression as Clermont is not really dominating but leicester missed some important tackles...Nalaga went through too easily on the 2nd try .

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

du grand Clermond

 

[Bernard]

Wow nice little try from clermont , just before half time ...25-9 .

 

[Bullitt]

Clermont are completely outclassing Tigers here, Castro is the only moggie who looks interested.

HT 25-9, 3-0 in the try count.

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

Find parra more reactive and decicive than in the automn France test matches. But more important, the team playing like one.
Floch good in kicking, Malzieu agressive and solid, and Rougerie nice in the air

 

[Bernard]

Parra is playing very well on this one , was disapointed by his performance with France in november . nice rugby though , no more kicking game , i'm all right with that

 

[Bullitt]

On a flip side, it looks like Courtney Lawes completely legal tackle last season has made him man up and stop being a little *coughahem* today.

 

[shtove]

Clermont best side in the tournament.

Feel sorry for Tuqiri in the cold and the snow.

 

[Bullitt]

Speak of the Devil and he scores a try. 35-9 now with 22 minutes to go... Depending on their away form, is there any stopping Clermont?

 

[Bullitt]

Actually, I just found this;

NOTE TO EDITORS:
Each club may select one additional player during the course of the Pool stages.
The nominated additional player will replace a registered member of the club's squad and no club will exceed 38 players at any time during the Pool stages.
The de-registered player may return to the squad at a later date during the Pool stages and replace the additional player. Clubs must ensure that the additional player has not been nominated in a match squad with another club for the Heineken Cup or Amlin Challenge Cup tournaments during the current season.
The additional player will be eligible (subject to eligibility criteria) to play in the next round of Pool matches if his nomination is received by ERC by noon on the Wednesday before the match.
The player must have at least a three-month contract with the Club. If an additional player is selected by a Club after Round 4 and the Club subsequently qualifies for a quarter-final the Club will only be allowed to register a further two players for the knock-out stages (otherwise entitled to register three players).[/b]

[Bernard]

Like supporters singing a Clermont version of Beatles 's yello submarine


Certainly a little revenge for the Edith Piaf 's "Je ne regrette rien" from the end of the Cardiff / toulouse from yesterday !

 

[Bernard]

hoho Clermont match is not finished guys

 

[Bullitt]

Flood with a try and suddenly it's 35-23... With 10 minutes to go.

 

[Bullitt]

And now it's 40-23...


Who says rugby is boring?
