Clermont hit back to deny Stormers debut win
By PA
Clermont roared back in the second half to open their Heineken Champions Cup campaign with a 24-14 victory over the Stormers in France.
The three-time finalists trailed the United Rugby Championship title-holders 14-3 at half-time, with Deon Fourie scoring the Stormers’ first try in European competition and a further nine points coming from the tee.
However, John Dobson’s tournament debutants could not add to their haul after the interval and Clermont recovered with tries from Alex Newsome and Alivereti Raka, while Jules Plisson took his tally for the match to 14 points.

Thanks Nick, and welcome back 😁 Vulavalu does look better this year, and about time. I suspect Schmidt will knock the hubris out of him. That one handed put down was so embarrassing. Mind you, I had thought Kiss would deal with that. Leaving aside the different games and skills, in NRL he had a very good (but no bullshit) type of coach in Bellamy, something he hasn't had in Union until this year. Bellamy would have roasted him unmercifully for an unprofessional put down.

Does he seriously think that people believe him when he says it just magically got into his system without him knowing anything about it? You’re gonna notice if you’re on the juice, bruh.
