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

The first European Champions Cup round-of-16 weekend concludes at the Stade Marcel-Michelin this afternoon.

Leicester Tigers travel to France to face Clermont Auvergne (kick-off 3.15pm UK & Ireland time) and should be confident having progressed as Pool B winners.

In contrast, Clermont sneaked through as the final qualifier in Pool A. They are traditionally a force in Europe but have struggled in recent seasons and it will interesting to see if the Marcel-Michelin is as much of a fortress as it has been in the past.

Clermont will definitely be looking for their home support to help drive them to victory before travelling to Welford Road next weekend.
