Racing will be on their guard but Connacht may struggle to contain them

If you were Mike Prendergast or Donnacha Ryan in the Racing changing room in Paris this afternoon you'd be on message about having the right attitude. For a start you'd be telling your pals to forget that Connacht's plans were shredded by Covid. Then you'd be reaching back to 2013 to remind the marquee names sitting around you that Connacht once beat Toulouse, in Stade Ernest Wallon.
