Leinster 21-28 Clermont Auvergne

Defending champions Leinster face an uphill task to reach the Heineken Cup quarter-finals after their second successive defeat against Clermont. Clermont, who won 15-12 in the reverse fixture, held a commanding 25-9 lead after Morgan Parra kicked 20 points and Wesley Fofana scored a first-half try. But the holders claimed a vital losing bonus point after late tries from Shane Jennings and Fergus McFadden. Clermont hold an eight-point advantage over Leinster at the top of Pool Five.
