Former French international second row Sébastien Vahaamahina has been forced to end his career after another concussion. He has not played since December 10 and a match against the South African franchise of the Stormers (24-14), in the Champions Cup.

In the week, the ASM and the ex-Blue (31 years, 46 caps) received a letter from the French Rugby Federation (FFR) informing them that it was withdrawing his player's license. The second line expects Clermont leaders to recognize "their responsibilities" and honor "their contractual commitments"
