Second half about to get underway.

Just arrived home

Good half of rugby at Franklin Gardens, tight game but a try from Juan Imhoff late in the first half gives Racing an 11-3 lead. Should be in for a good second half so join us in 10 when we'll be bringing you 2nd half coverage.

Not even that great a player and constantly gives away penalties why is he in the england squad?

Good work by Racing as they keep the ball alive with offloads, they decide to go blindisde at the breakdown, quick hands from Imhoff finds Van Der Merwe on the wing, he offloads back into Imhoff who has a free run to the line. Machenaud misses an easy conversion and that's halftime. Score 11-3 to Racing.

Top class try, decent match to see who is at home in the quarters and who is away

Try Racing! Juan Imhoff!

Racing coming forward in the last play of the half.

It's an interesting one because JJ needs game time to develop but Saints are a win now club (rightly so) so perhaps he won't get it initially. He does play a lot flatter than SM so with the likes of Burrell and North running those hard inside lines, he could have great success. Could learn a lot re kicking and territory management from SM too

Saints lose possession as Sam Dickinson knocks on trying to offload.
