A colorful double and a twirling rear but also an expensive yellow card… The Tops and Flops of the Ulster-Clermont meeting (34-31).


TOPS

Rob Herring sees double

What a game from the Irish international!

At the conclusion of two well-carried balls (7th, 38th), hooker Rob Herring weighed more than ever in the success of Ulster, during the victory over Clermont (34-31).

A real offensive weapon, the successor to Rory Best in the XV of Clover also proved to be invaluable on the defensive phases with several tackles which pushed back the Auvergne assaults.

Leading performance.

Mike Lowry, the youth in power

His hooks turned many heads in the ASM defense.

Imperial on the cover, young fullback Mike Lowry (23) stood out with a speedy try (22nd), where he literally dropped Morgan Parra.

Also involved in the achievements of Duane Vermeulen (48th) and Robert Baloucoune (67th), the Irish wisp can dream of playing more than just a role as a replacement for Hugo Keenan at the next VI Nations Tournament, after being called up by the staff of Andy Farrell.

The Clermont surge will not have been enough

Long abused or even beaten, Jono Gibbes' men showed their best side in the last quarter of an hour.

Apathetic on their offensive sequences and unable to create real opportunities for more than an hour of play, the Auvergnats woke up by planting three tries synonymous with defensive bonuses.

Jacobus Van Tonder (69th) then Alivereti Raka (71st) first distinguished themselves by being at the conclusion of major actions before Judicaël Cancoriet (76th) flattened in turn after a ball worn devastating.

A reaction nevertheless too late to afford a feat in Irish lands.



FLOPS

Hanrahan, an underwater opener

What bad choices in the game of the Clermont opening half.

Struggling in his kicking game, especially to lengthen it, the Irishman experienced a real ordeal against his compatriots.

Author of two forwards, JJ Hanrahan also fished in some transmissions.

Replaced by Camille Lopez (50th), symbol of the Clermont surge, the gap between the two copies returned by the openers is abysmal.

Sawtooth performances that follow and repeat themselves.

Raka, an expensive yellow

Sanctioned at the end of the first act (38th) for all of the work of his far too undisciplined partners, Alivereti Raka did not give his teammates a gift.

During his period in numerical inferiority, ASM Clermont conceded two tries, at the end of the first act (38th) and at the start of the second period (47th).

While the Jaunards led 12-10 at the time of his temporary exclusion, the winger will join his partners led by 15 points (27-10).

A turning point in the game.
