Clermont's Rougerie out for a month with knee injury
By Harry West
Aurelien Rougerie will miss Clermont Auvergne's final two European Champions Cup group matches after sustaining a knee injury.
The veteran back, capped 76 times by France, picked up the problem in Sunday's 31-27 home defeat to Castres.
Clermont released an update on Tuesday, confirming he would be out for a month due to a partial ligament strain.
He is likely to miss Clermont's Top 14 fixtures against Racing 92 and Montpellier, which fall either side of Champions Cup clashes with Northampton Saints and the Ospreys.
Clermont sit top of Pool 2 having won all four games this season, holding a five-point lead over the Ospreys.

BB a 9'5 you have to be kidding. No way was he that good you seem to have the same hero worship of BB that the coaches have with him. Rieko to the wing or out altogether he is actually a real hand brake to this team.
Go to commentsA 20pt messy win is about what I expected. Lots of media & fans not reading the room imo. I think the Azzuri were hoping to ambush a 2nd string ABs & may well have done so. Eking out an ugly win is definitely a sign of growth. 2025 looks exciting.
Also, AUS has only beaten ENG of note. They need to show up v SCO & IRE to get a proper gauge. Beating WAL three times doesn't count. Also, winning one test from six in TRC is useless. So TRC2025 will be the real litmus test for AUS. That said, I'm rooting for our SH brothers for the next two tests.
