Would like to see some guys have some rest like Parra, Domingo, Chouly, James.
There's Perpignan on the horizon and I want to see Clermont keep on frightening Toulon for the Bouclier. There's not a lot at stake anyways except our future "partner" for the next round, but whether we play Toulouse/Ulster or Munster/MHR at home this will be tough.

Guys like Rado, Skrela, Vosloo, Chaume, Jacquet need - and deserve to - play a full HEC game. This will be useful later on.

Shamateur hour at the PyS.
Clermont up 17-0 as the first quarter comes to a close.

Yeah, but Samson Lee did a box kick from a ruck. It wasn't very good, although no worse than Knoyles so far tbh. Still, he attempted one, and that's what matters.

Scarlets defence is so poor.

How dull was McCusker in the lead up to Parra's try? Too him long enough to realise the ball had spilled out of the scrum, then passes it straight to Parra.

Edit. What a pickup by Ken Owens. Pity it was forward from Knoyle.

Scarlets are incapable of retaining possession for more than 30 sec. This'll be a 50 pointer unless they can get their territory and possession stats up.

Clean sheet, now I think Clermont will secure a home quarter.

Clermont eased off second half. Didn't really look interested.
What the hell was McCusker doing for the Parra try???

That Stanley try was class. Put the ball to a player steaming into space, lovely.
