Clermont condemn Northampton to second straight Euro defeat

Northampton suffered a second straight Champions Cup defeat as they were beaten 24-7 by Clermont Auvergne in an ill-tempered affair at the Stade Marcel Michelin.

Match Commentary

81'		24-7 End of second half
80'		Just as it has been for the previous 80 minutes, Saints their own worst enemy and their attack comes to an end. The ball is put into the scrum and that is that. Clermont are two from two, Saints effectively down and out.
77'		A kick through from Collins but Spedding touches down and the French side can clear.
