Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of this evenings Top 14 clash between Racing Metro and Bordeaux-Bègles. Although Racing are strong favourites, they will be without loose forward Wenceslas Lauret and centre Jamie Roberts however Dan Lydiate makes his return in the back-row. Racing have found tries hard to come by this year with only 4 in their first 6 games, however the weather is perfect for an open game of rugby so trend might change today
