Sexton goes long from the drop out, Plisson returns the ball deep, and Magnaval box kicks clear to halfway.

Stade finally win a lineout at the third time of asking, Plisson with a kick deep that rolls dead and Lapeyre touches the ball down for a 22 drop out.

Stade with a chance in the Racing half with a lineout, but again it is stolen by the home side. Sexton clear to half way.

TRY RACING! Having gone close just moments before, Racing get over the line this time. Racing steal the lineout and move the ball to Sexton, who makes a good burst through Plisson to bring play right to the Stade tryline. Ducalon then quickly picks and goes to get over. Sexton adds the extras.

Flying start from the home side, going close to scoring in the corner through Marc Andreu. HHe is just bundled into touch. Line out stade to come.

Ex Leinster man Sexton gets us underway.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the first Paris derby of the season, as Racing Metro welcome Stade Francais to the Stade Yves du Manoir. Stade Francais have enjoyed a great start to the season, in comparison to the rocky start their neighbours have endured. However, coming off the two weeks of European rugby which saw them defeat high flyers Toulon, Racing will surely be confident they can get a result tonight that will re ignite their season.
