Relocated to Auxerre, due to Taylor Swift concerts, at La Défense Arena, from Thursday to Sunday. the meeting between Racing 92 and Aviron Bayonnais got off to a good start for the Ile-de-France residents, but the red card from Sanconnie (16th) revived the Basques. Trailing 21-7, Machenaud’s teammates ended up reversing the situation before taking the advantage with a spectacular try.
It all starts with Hodge who pierces Racing’s first defensive curtain from his own in-goal, before finding winger Baget. The ball advances easily passing through the hands of Bruni, before ending its course in those of Martocq, who will flatten it under the posts.
