Leinster v Clermont – Old rivals square off in Champions Cup clash at Aviva Stadium
HEAD-TO-HEAD:
This afternoon marks the 10th-ever meeting between Leinster and Clermont Auvergne with the Irish province narrowly edging the head-to-head stats by 5 victories to Clermont’s 4 in total.
Interestingly, Clermont have defeated Leinster in all three of their most recent clashes with a 27-22 win in 2017 being the last time the two clubs faced off. Prior to that, Clermont also completed the double over Leinster in December 2012, in the form of two 28-21 and 15-12 victories. You must go back to April 2012 for Leinster’s last victory over the French club as a Johnny Sexton penalty rubberstamped a 19-15 win to see them into the Heineken Cup final.
