Sale 26-17 Clermont. 24 January 2009

The French team played some fine counter attack rugby in the first half. Their full back Floch was running some good lines and gaining alot of yards. Clermont scored a fine try through their jumbo winger Nalaga. He's not quite as big as Matt Banahan but still a very large winger. Sale had selected McAllister at ten and this gave the team more momentum in attack. The New Zealander is a dynamic runner and has a great skill set. His control at ten inspired Sale to come back into the game in the second half. Dwyane Peel scored a good solo in typical scrum half fashion as he sniped around the blind side and had enough pace to beat the covering defence.

My man of the match: McAllister
