The Hauts-de-Seine club won the Paris region derby this Saturday against its Parisian rival (13-9). Signing an eighth success in a row in Paris.
At the opening of the 7th day of the Top 14, Racing 92 won this Saturday on the pitch at Stade Français Paris (13-9). In dire weather conditions, the Ciel et Blanc scored the only try of the match by Henry Chavancy (15th), the club’s child. Both teams experienced huge problems in conquest: Racing in the scrum and Stade Français on the sidelines. This is the eighth success in a row for Ciel et Blanc at Jean-Bouin since 2018. With this success, the Racingmen temporarily take the lead in the standings ahead of their opponents of the day and the Section Paloise who face Bayonne at 5 p.m.
Racing defeated its rival… and the rain. Bad news for the show, wet and windy weather was present at the highly anticipated meeting between the two Ile-de-France teams. Wearing its historic colors (red and blue), Stade Français started this derby ideally, with Joris Segonds scoring the first penalty (3-0, 4th). The match then came down to a duel between the packs, brought to bear due to the festival of forwards committed by the 30 players.
Betrayed by the humidity of Paris, Stadistes and Racingmen surrendered the penalties and the balls. In this little game, the Ciel et Blanc were more realistic, converting their first foray into the opposing 22 meters. After a breakthrough from Taofifenua, Tedder found Chavancy with a clever foot play. The Racing captain went to flatten (3-7, 16th) to put his team in front. Messy with the ball in hand, the “Pink Army”, very pale this afternoon, tried to react but Macalou let the ball escape in front of the line (20th).
At the Stade Français, the touch betrays the scrum
A few blunders later, the scorers Tedder and Segonds did not tremble against the poles to weigh down the scoreboard. Opportunistic, Racing narrowly led at the break (6-10), under the eyes of its South African star Siya Kolisi, soon on the pitches of the Top 14. On returning from the locker room, the rain was still there. Segonds continued his flawless performance (9-10, 43rd) before a highlight for the Racingmen. Pushing in front of the locals’ line, the Ciel et Blanc came up against the forceps defense of the Stadistes despite the yellow card for Kockott (46th). Le Garrec finally realized the momentum of his team (9-13, 55th), which was then content to hold on to the victory.
After the hour of play, the match entered into an almost hellish loop. The Stade Français pack won the scrums, the touches lost the ball. The Ciel et Blanc, in a final effort, finally won the necessary scrum (78th) then pushed their opponent into a final hand fault. As a symbol, this derby delivered its verdict on a forward, signed Alo-Emile. Kolisi (from the stands) and his new teammates could exult. As regulars, they won at Jean-Bouin and overtook their neighbor in the ranking.
