A big blow for ASM Clermont Auvergne. Our colleagues from Midi Olympique reveal that Benjamin Urdapilleta, the Argentinian international fly-half, was injured in the biceps during the Auvergnats’ success against Racing 92. The former number 10 of Castres could be operated on and therefore be absent for many weeks , an unavailability which could last up to three months. Eighth in the Top 14, ASM begins its Challenge Cup campaign with the reception in Edinburgh on Friday evening (9 p.m.).
