Alivereti

Townsend's team simply could not contain the power and intensity of Jacques Brunel's Les Bleus, who ran in five tries as Maxime Medard's double was complimented by scores from debutant Alivereti Raka, Gregor Alldritt and Antoine Dupont.

Clermont who played without fullback Setareki Tuicuvu had Alivereti Raka on the wing while fiery flanker Peceli Yato came in as a substitute.
