Clermont v Racing live stream: How to watch the Champions Cup match online from anywhere

This all-French Champions Cup quarter-final should make for perfect Saturday evening viewing, with both teams packed with internationals.

Racing go into this match full of confidence as they sit atop the Top 14 after winning their first two matches, against Lyon and Montpellier, while Clermont have had their confidence dented by a surprise defeat at Bayonne last weekend.

Clermont have won 35 of their last 37 home games in the Heineken Champions Cup, but Racing were the last team to beat them in the competition at the Stade Marcel-Michelin – triumphing 28-17 at this stage in 2018.

Look out for Japan’s Kotaro Matsushima, one of the stars of last year’s full-back who starts at full-back for Clermont, while Finn Russell will be looking to dictate matters for Racing.

Clermont Auvergne: Kotaro Matsushima; Damian Penaud, Apisai Naqalevu, Wesley Fofana, Bastien Pourailly; Camille Lopez, Morgan Parra (captain); Etienne Falgoux, Etienne Fourcade, Rabah Slimani, Sitaleki Timani, Sébastien Vahaamahina, Arthur Iturria, Judicaël Cancoriet, Fritz Lee.

Replacements: Adrien Pélissié, Peni Ravai, Cristian Ojovan, Paul Jedrasiak, Alexandre Lapandry, Sébastien Bézy, Cheik Tiberghien, Peter Betham.

Racing 92: Simon Zebo; Louis Dupichot, Virimi Vakatawa, Olivier Klemenczak, Juan Imhoff; Finn Russell, Teddy Iribaren (captain); Eddy Ben Arous, Camille Chat, Georges Henri Colombe, Bernard Le Roux, Dominic Bird, Wenceslas Lauret, Fabien Sanconnie, Antonie Claassen.

Replacements: Teddy Baubigny, Hassane Kolingar, Ali Oz, Donnacha Ryan, Baptiste Chouzenoux, Maxime Machenaud, Antoine Gibert, Francois Trinh-Duc.
