Last season’s middle-of-the-pack finish was frustrating for a side that has twice lifted the Brennus Shield, most recently in 2017, but Clermont remains a club with the tools to contend. The mix of international experience and homegrown talent provides balance across the roster. Maintaining health and managing player workload over a long season will be critical to staying competitive in both the domestic league and the European Challenge Cup.
The schedule itself is unrelenting, beginning with consecutive road trips and highlighted by several marquee fixtures at the Stade Marcel-Michelin. Winter contests against La Rochelle and Union Bordeaux-Bègles promise to be demanding, while late-season trips to Toulouse and Bordeaux could determine whether Clermont climbs into playoff contention.
The club’s ability to manage these stretches may define the season. The roster features players with championship pedigree, including Argentina’s Marcos Kremer and Australia’s Rob Simmons, who know the grind of long campaigns. The challenge will be converting close contests into wins, especially against the league’s elite sides.
