With its victory against Clermont, Racing 92 loses players but gains confidence before Toulouse. Camille Chat, injured in the hamstrings, left during the warm-up and Nolann Le Garrec, for a concussion protocol, left the field after 30 seconds of play.
“I prefer that to suffering five defeats in a row,” smiles Stuart Lancaster, in reference to the bad patch Racing 92 experienced during the winter (from January 28 to March 2). “We had to make do with the injured. Fortunately Juan Imhoff did a very good job as a scrum half. It allows us to stay ahead.”
