Top 14: “A big slap”, Racing 92 loses for the second time in a row in Perpignan. Racing 92 conceded three tries in 21 minutes (from the 10th to the 31st) and returned to the locker room trailing 19-5.
Stuart Lancaster wanted to inject new blood with eight changes compared to the starting XV against Toulouse. A performance to forget after a second period during which, worse, a fourth try, synonymous with an offensive bonus for the locals, was scored by Ignacio Ruiz.
