Clermont claim they were duped by Saracens
By Jack Davies
Clermont Auvergne have hit out at the "absurd" situation surrounding their postponed European Champions Cup clash with Saracens at Allianz Park.
Last season's two finalists were due to meet in London on Sunday but the match was called off due to snow.
The fixture kicked off at 17:30 local time today (Monday), although Clermont allege that 14:00 had earlier been settled upon for the rescheduled kick-off, describing the saga as an "episode of amateurism".
Monday's clash had also originally been billed as "behind closed doors", before Saracens announced that fans would once again be welcome at the stadium.
"Our sports staff and players are deeply affected by the lack of interest in their supporters throughout this weekend and will try to find an additional source of motivation in the upcoming game," read a statement from Clermont.
Saracens beat Clermont 28-17 in the final and hold a one-point advantage over the Top 14 side in Pool 2 after two fixtures.

After you. And yes, that's exactly what Penney should do. Stat!! Unfortunately he has one year left on his contract.
Penney's Super Rugby win record was a low 23% before we signed him on. At the top was Razor at 84%. And true to form, Penney took us from a 7-peat to not even making the play-offs in ONE season. No excuses. LOSER. Thank God his contract is up next year. And hopefully Rangi might wanna throw his hat in for the job.
In the meantime, hopefully we can crack the top 6 this year in spite of Penney!??!
Go to comments"exceptional as usual" haha I'll take that to mean he kicked how he 'usually' kicked?
Why was Dmac rated a 6, did he not actually do any better or did he come on at fb or something?
