Pool 5 European Rugby Cup 18-12-16

SATURDAY

BORDEUX 12-20 EXETER

COWAN DICKIE SECURES WIN FOR EXETER

But the Chiefs led 7-6 at half-time courtesy of a Thomas Waldrom try, before Bordeaux wing Nans Ducuing was sent off for an illegal challenge on opposite number Olly Woodburn.
Returning hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie clinched it for Exeter with a late try.


Exeter showed that they have fight in this match and I think that this makes things interesting in the group for them as they think that they can finish second in this pool. I think that this will leave the matches between the three bottom sides very interesting

SUNDAY
CLERMOUNT 38-19 ULSTER
ABENDANON DOUBLE SECURES SIMPLE WIN FOR CLERMOUNT
Nick Abendanon built on Isaia Toeava's early try by scoring twice to give Clermont a 21-0 half-time advantage.
Camille Lopez's touchdown secured a bonus point, but Ulster mounted a stirring comeback with tries by Tommy Bowe (2) and Franco van der Merwe.
A penalty try ensured that Clermont remain in control of the pool.


Clermont are one team that are all but through in the European Champions Cup. Ulster has got two big matches which to me they have to win to reach the knockout stages. I think from what I saw in the start of the second half that they can do it and qualify
