Sexton kicks the ball in to touch, and thats the game. Racing scrape over the line, to claim a victory which is very important in the context of their season. Victory tonight lifts them above Stade into 6 position, and after their mixed start to the season that will please them no end. In truth this was a poor game of rugby, as both teams elected to kick on too many occasion. In the end, the boot of Sexton seperated two very evenly matched sides, who should both come close to competeing for top honours in the latter stages of this season. Thanks for joining us this afternoon in UR, see you next time.
Heartbreak for Stade, as the ball is lost forward in contact by Lavella. With two minutes left, that could spell the end of Stades hopes of victory.
Big charge from Parisse, and there up to the Racing line. Racing clinging on to their lead desperately.
Ball secured by Stade, they look to keep it tight for now.
Right infornt of the posts, Racing are pinged for hands in the ruck. Steyn kicks to the corner, and we are in for a grand stand finish. Stade with a 5 metre lineout to come.
Bonneval with a half break, play now just outside the Racing 22.
Parisse comes up with the turnover, now Stade are back on the attack.
Racing claim the lineout, currently keeping play between the 10 and half way line.
A knock on puts an end to that plan, and Steyn is allowed clear long to half way.
Racing on the attack in Stade territiry, 5 minutes to go, theyll look to wear down the clock in this sort of territory.
