Clermont send a clear message to Munster

CLERMONT-AUVERGNE sent a clear message to Munster yesterday — they still intend to be in the mix in Pool Six with a potentially crucial away victory over French rivals Montauban.

Just a few hours after Munster won in Stockport, Clermont recovered from their shockingly below-par performance against Sale Sharks the previous week with a similar result at Stade de Sapiac to keep their hat in the ring.

Now all eyes will be on their back-to-back games against the defending European champions in December, starting at Parc des Sports Marcel Michelin.
