Montauban claim narrow win at Stade Sapiac
Clermont Auvergne missed the chance to move top of the Top 14 standings after a 20-15 defeat to Montauban at Stade Sapiac.
Vern Cotter's Clermont were looking to kick on from last week's 30-point drubbing of Bourgoin but they struggled for any penetration against Montauban.
Former Auvergne wing Vilimoni Delasau brought Clermont's worst nightmare true when he went over for a score on 33 minutes and thanks to the boot of former Valke fly-half Len Olivier, Montauban were always an arms length away.
Clermont meanwhile could only call upon the boot of scrum-half Morgan Parra, who kicked a total of four penalties, as they remain behind league leaders Castres who travel to Stade Pierre Rajon on Saturday.
