A crazy test, followed by an injury exit. Racing 92 experienced both the best and the worst from the start of their match against Clermont, this Saturday afternoon for the 20th day of the Top 14. Less than a minute after kick-off, Henry Arundell was the conclusion of a crazy action on the part of the Sky and White.
Tour starts from a launch of Racing's game in its 22 m, just after kick-off. Wame Naituvi then Gaël Fickou moved up almost the entire field before Nolann Le Garrec found his back to score the first try.

Garrec uncertain in Toulouse next Sunday?
After this euphoric start, the audience at Paris-La Défense Arena quickly became disillusioned. Nolann Le Garrec had to leave the field, victim of a tackle after this try of almost 85 m. Replaced by Tristan Tedder, the scrum half did not return to the field. We then saw him on the edge of the field, an ice pack on his head.
Which could mean that Nolann Le Garrec, excellent since the start of the season and who made a remarkable debut with the French XV during the Six Nations Tournament, is banned from playing for a few days, to respect the concussion protocol. His participation in the Champions Cup round of 16 next weekend in Toulouse risks being compromised.
