Vannes plan delivers the win.

Storm Austen blows Vannes home in second half.
Despite being 6-23 down after 47 minutes, in front of another sell-out at the Stade de la Rabine, Vannes squeezed home with a last-gasp try from skipper Gorrissen to secure the win they had been targeting for two weeks.
Defeat for Clermont leaves them and Racing on two wins each after seven rounds of Top 14 action, as Racing lost another 'home' match, on the road at Le Mans, against Montpellier.
Next week, Clermont host Racing. It won't be pretty. Two teams who are definitely underperforming.
