Ospreys fight back to beat Clermont

Saturday, January 16 2016 by SNTV
  • A superb second half performance sees the Ospreys overhaul a first half deficit to beat Clermont Auvergne 21-13 in Pool two of the European Champions Cup.

    These Clermont Auvergne fans would have something to shout about very quickly into their European Champions Cup match the Ospreys.

    Their side broke the deadlock within the first six minutes through Wesley Fofana.

    That was converted too but the Ospreys hit back through the boot of Dan Biggar.

    The French side would have a 13-6 lead at the break though as Morgan Parra found his range.

    The rain started to fall in the second half and as did Clermont's advantage, an untimely injury to Biggar could've unsettled the home side but Sam Davies proved to be more than an able replacement as they began to chip away the lead.

    He kicked a penalty in the 68th minute that gave the Welsh side the lead for the first time in the match.

    Two further penalties completed a flawless kicking performance from Davies and a very handy victory for his side.

    Ospreys will now have their destiny in their own hands in the final pool match at Exeter.
