Toulon vs Clermont featured some gorgeous tries, offloads and running lines

The Top 14′s marquee match-up didn’t disappoint on Saturday.

TOULON BEAT CLERMONT 27-19 on Saturday and the game was a great watch for the neutral. David Smith bagged a brace to compliment Maxime Mermoz’s fantastic score while Fritz Lee and Aurelien Rougerie finished off superb tries for Clermont.

At their peaks, there probably isn’t any team in the northern hemisphere who play better rugby than these two.

A lot of rugby’s most important skills were on show there – the line by Maxime Mermoz for his try was exquisite and Brock James did brilliantly to manufacture Fritz Lee’s five-pointer.

Clermont’s back to back games with Munster are sure to be crackers.
