Clermont v Leinster - Heineken Cup Live Stream Preview

The second Heineken Cup semi-final takes place with defending champions hoping to reach the Twickenham final once again when they do battle with Clermont at the Stade Chaban-Delmas.

Leinster (6/4 Heineken Cup BetFred Outright) are bidding to become only the second club in Heineken Cup history to win back-to-back titles but are going to have their work cut out in Bordeaux, as they face a Clermont side who are in form and particularly deadly in France. 

At their home ground they are unbeaten in 42 games and a huge, passionate crowd will follow them on the three-and-a-half-hour drive to Bordeaux.

Joe Schmidt’s Leinster have been dominant in the Heineken Cup, unbeaten in their last 13 European matches, and it seems a bit ridiculous that they are the away team in the semi-finals. 

Not only did Leinster thrash Cardiff in the last round but they have also showed their true class by beating both Edinburgh and Ulster – the other two semi-finalists – in the RaboDirect PRO12 in recent weeks. 

In Clermont’s victory over Saracens in the quarter-finals, it was their formidable defence that stole the show, and that will need to be the case again if they want to halt a rampaging Leinster.

Clermont (7/5 Outright) welcome Julien Malzieu, Aurélien Rougerie and Julien Bonnaire into the starting XV in three changes from the side that beat Montpellier, while Schmidt has surprised many by preferring Isaac Boss at scrum-half to Eoin Reddan.

The other changes see Gordon D’Arcy come in to partner Brian O’Driscoll at centre while Shane Jennings is preferred to Kevin McLaughlin and Jamie Heaslip comes into the back row. 

It looks like a strong Leinster side and the greater physicality of Boss should complement Jonathan Sexton. These two sides look closely matched on paper but Leinster are on a roll in the Heineken Cup and their name seems to be on the trophy (Match Betting 80mins – Clermont 4/5, draw 18/1, Leinster EVS).
