Simon Easterby was left to rue Morgan Stoddart's red card after Scarlets were crushed 49-16 by Clermont Auvergne.

Meanwhile, Clermont travel to Exeter Chiefs, who were narrowly beaten by Leinster in round one, full of confidence after surviving the early scare and running away with the encounter. Head coach Vern Cotter said: "To come away with a bonus-point was pleasing after the way the game started. They had us in a lot of difficulty, we probably didn't get certain things right and had to claw our way back into it. "But to get five points is a great start but we know how tough it will be in Exeter next week."
