Bordeaux Begles vs Clermont Top 14 preview as the sides meet in the final round of the regular season.
Bordeaux, the European Champions Cup winners, currently sit sixth in the table, and a win would guarantee them a playoff match. They could reach as high as fourth, which would give them a home quarterfinal game.
Clermont currently sit in eighth, and a win in this final game would not guarantee them top six, but would see them move above Bordeaux, and they could finish in the top six depending on Racing and La Rochelle results.
