Head to Head

The upcoming Champions Cup clash features ASM Clermont Auvergne hosting Sale Sharks at Stade Marcel Michelin. Clermont will look to leverage their home advantage with a strong lineup, including fly half Simone and scrum half Bezy. Sale Sharks will aim to disrupt Clermont's plans with their dynamic backs, led by du Preez and Quirke. Players like Raka and Moala will be crucial for Clermont in breaking the defensive lines. Meanwhile, Sale's forwards, including McIntyre and Vermeulen, will need to establish dominance at the set pieces. The clear weather conditions should allow for an open and fast-paced game. Both teams are eager to make a statement in this high-stakes encounter.
