14 January 2012, 5th Match Heineken Cup Clermont Auvergne ran in 12 tries as they stormed to victory over Aironi and kept their hopes of a place in the this season's Heineken Cup quarter-finals alive. The French side really turned on the style against the Italian new boys and returned home with a much-needed bonus point to keep them in the hunt in Pool 4 to set up a winner takes all clash with Ulster in France next weekend. Wings Sitiveni Sivivatu and Julien Malzieu both scored try hat-tricks, with full back Lee Byrne crossing for a brace of tries and Alexandre Lapandry, Brock James, Elvis Vermeulen all scored against the Italians. Aironi, who are in only their second season of European rugby and haven't won a game in the Pool this season, suffered their heaviest defeat in the tournament at the hands of the Top 14 outfit. Clermont raced to a 47-0 lead at half-time and simply overwhelmed their Italian hosts with their pace and power in a devastating display of what the French side are capable on their day.
