Clermont faced a challenging match against Leinster in the European Champions Cup, ultimately losing 15-7 at Aviva Stadium. The game proved to be a tough contest for both teams, with neither side displaying their best form throughout the encounter. The scoring was primarily concentrated in the first half, where Leinster established a 12-7 lead.
Garry Ringrose and Jordie Barrett each scored a try for Leinster, complemented by a conversion from Sam Pendergast. The French side stayed competitive early on, thanks to a converted try from Fijian winger Alivereti Raka. However, the situation worsened for Clermont when Yato received a yellow card early in the second half, significantly impacting their ability to mount a comeback. A late penalty from Pendergast sealed Clermont’s fate, leaving them with little hope for a revival.
While this defeat is disappointing for Clermont, it serves as an opportunity for growth and learning as they progress in the tournament. With key match experience gained against a strong opponent like Leinster, they can regroup and look forward to improving in upcoming matches.
