TRISTE NOUVELLE : Il y a environ une minute, la star de l’ASM Clément a été confirmée morte dans un accident de voiture….
ASM Clermont is going through a difficult period. Already in the grip of a complicated season, the Auvergne club must now deal with the absence of one of its key players, Rob Simmons.
The Australian international second row will be sidelined for around three months following a ruptured biceps in his left arm.
This injury is a real blow for ASM Clermont, which is already struggling to regain its former glory in the Top 14.
Rob Simmons, who arrived in 2023 from the Waratahs, quickly established himself as an essential element of the Auvergne pack thanks to his experience and power.
His prolonged absence will force the Clermont staff to review their plans and find solutions to compensate for this lack in the second line.
A mission all the more difficult since the club already has to deal with many other absences due to injury.
At 35, Rob Simmons is a player who has proven himself at the highest level.
With 106 caps in the jersey of the Wallabies, he is one of the most capped players in the history of Australian rugby.
His experience and leadership were valuable assets for a Clermont squad in reconstruction.
