Richie Murphy’s side were unable to live with Clermont’s physicality and failed to register any points after half-time.

Clermont 53 Ulster 14 ULSTER CRASHED OUT of the European Challenge Cup after a second-half obliteration against Clermont who registered 33 unanswered points against the struggling province.

After resisting some early pressure, Ulster got things moving when opting to tap and go from a penalty under the Clermont sticks. Clermont had the opening chance on the restart – Ulster’s skipper Iain Henderson did not return for the new half – but Belleau missed from the tee. Yato scored his second on 68 minutes, Sebastien Bezy converting and in the final minute Joris Jurand made it seven tries for Clermont.
