Stade Français, 4th (31 pts), in the event of a victory this Saturday afternoon, will overtake RC Toulon (34 pts) to take, alone, 3rd place in the championship, and will return to the shelves of Pau and Toulouse, leaders of the championship (37 pts).
For its part, Racing looks gloomy. Sadly 11th in the Top 14 (26 pts), the Ile-de-France club – which has not won in 3 matches – must pull itself together against its great rival in order not to get further bogged down in the bottom of the ranking.
