Vahaamahina ruled out of Top 14 play-offs
By Jack Davies
Clermont Auvergne will be without Sebastien Vahaamahina for the Top 14 play-offs after the France second row was ruled out for "several months" with a fractured tibia.
Vahaamahina was forced off five minutes into the second half of Saturday's Champions Cup final, which ended in a 28-17 victory for Saracens in Edinburgh.
And Clermont have now confirmed that the 25-year-old - capped 25 times by France - will miss the remainder of the season.
Clermont face Montpellier or Racing 92 in the semi-finals after ending the Top 14 regular season in second.

Nz should have won. I didn't watch the game, but the ref was at fault and the bounce of the ball and the Bokke used the Bomb squad and the Bokke slow the game down and the Bokke scrum. They should remove the scrum. The Bokke are to strong. Not fair. Nz should have won
Go to commentsWere the Baby Boks part of this game or did the Baby Blacks play themselves?🤔 That man Bin Smuth once again does a little write-up on the game and it is like 95% about the Baby Blacks🤣 Glad he ends off with the Baby Blacks were actually in cruise control for most of the game and weren’t actually playing for the win WTF🤣🤣 Maybe he was expecting the Baby Blacks to run rampant….
