Graham Simmons sat down with Nick Abendanon and David Strettle to talk about life in Clermont and Saturday's Champions Cup final against Saracens

David Strettle and Nick Abendanon talk nappies, Owen Farrell playing in goal for Manchester United, the Clermont Curse and a Saracens reunion.

The pair will do battle with Saracens in the Champions Cup final live on Sky Sports 3 from 4pm on Saturday, and both talked up the defending champions ahead of the Edinburgh clash.

"If you beat the best, you're even more proud of what you've achieved," said former Saracen Strettle. "I think Saracens winning it last year, and them being favourites, you couldn't ask for a tougher challenge in the final."

Abendanon said limiting mistakes would be key to victory: "Playing against Saracens, it's about who can make the least amount of errors."

The new fathers also talked about family life at Clermont, changing nappies, and Strettle's 'failed football career'.
