After a long injury layoff, Clare returned to high level rugby in 2009, signing with Rugby Viadana of the Italian Super 10 (now National Championship of Excellence).
In rugby union, two-legged matches are used in the qualifying stages of the Rugby World Cup, and the semifinals of the Italian National Championship of Excellence are also two-legged.
At the end of the 2008/2009 season the Board decided not to proceed with the existing formula of "professional" rugby and withdrew the First XV from the top Italian Championship, thus granting a place in the Super 10 to L'Aquila Rugby.
