Racing 92, which remained on a failed entry into the Champions Cup, found its way to victory and its offensive efficiency against Oyonnax (66-10), Saturday during the 10th day of the Top 14. Thanks to ten tries registered including a hat-trick from scrum half Nolann Le Garrec, the first of his career in the Top 14, Racing 92 (34 pts) consolidates its first place in the championship thanks to this improved success.
Stuart Lancaster, the manager of Racing 92, nevertheless admitted that “Oyonnax put a lot of pressure on us, they defended well and forced us to make mistakes”. For his part, Joe El Abd, manager of Oyomen, declared: “For 35 minutes we were in the match, we fought and competed physically with a team which is leader today. But we sinned in discipline.”
