Clermont faced a disappointing defeat against Leinster in their European Champions Cup matchup, ending the game with a score of 15-7 at Aviva Stadium yesterday.
The match saw both teams grappling with their form, but Leinster managed to secure the win with a strong showing in the first half. The score stood at 12-7 at halftime, with two tries from Garry Ringrose and Jordie Barrett, along with a conversion from Sam Pendergast, giving the Irish side a solid lead. Alivereti Raka, the Fijian winger, kept Clermont within striking distance by scoring a converted try early in the game.
In the second half, Clermont’s chances took a hit when Yato received a yellow card, impacting their momentum. A late penalty from Pendergast effectively sealed the game, leaving Clermont with little opportunity to mount a comeback.
While the outcome was not in favor of Clermont, they demonstrated determination and skill, particularly in their brief moments of offensive strength. The team can draw lessons from this experience as they prepare for future matches, aiming for improvement and resilience.
