Leinster squeeze past Clermont – Leinster 29-28 Clermont Auvergne

April 10, 2010 by ebbs

Heineken Cup holders Leinster came from behind twice to beat Clermont Auvergne by the narrowest of margins and progress to the semi-finals of this year’s competition in Dublin. They will now play another French team in either Toulouse or Stade Français Paris.

A Julien Malzieu try helped the French side to a 10-0 lead but two Jamie Heaslip tries saw Leinster fight back to lead 20-10 at half-time.
