1/4 final: the summary of ASM Clermont – Ulster Rugby
.
(France TV)
Clermont largely won against Ulster in the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup on Saturday (53-14), and will be the only representative of France in the last four.
A victory without trembling. After a complicated start to the match, ASM Clermont, the last French representative still in the Challenge Cup race, crushed the Irish province of Ulster on Saturday in the quarter-finals (53-14). The Auvergnats, three times crowned in the “small” European Cup (1999, 2007, 2019), qualify once again for the semi-finals, where they will face the South African franchise of the Sharks (Durban), winner of the Scots from Edinburgh in the other quarter (36-30).
After being caught in the last minutes of the first period (20-14), the men of Christophe Urios blazed after returning from the locker room and scored five converted tries in 40 minutes, ported by remarkable forwards. Pita Gus Sowakula and Peceli Yato scored twice each. Facing the South Africans, the Jaunards will try to once again add their name to the list of winners in a competition systematically won by a French club since 2021.
