Damien Penaud puts icing on cake for powerful Clermont against Toulon

Clermont Auvergne 29 Toulon 9

In a repeat of the 2013 and 2015 finals — both won by Toulon — the rival French powerhouses were locked at 6-6 at half-time, but Clermont finished much the stronger to win 29-9 at Stade Marcel Michelin.

Clermont winger, Noa Nakaitaci, crossed for the game’s first try, in the 60th minute, to give his side some breathing space, before replacement, Penaud, wrapped up the victory at the death.
