Steyn gives Stade bragging rights
- 1850
Springbok Morné Steyn's long-range kicking capability took centre stage as Stade Francais overcame the early red carding of captain Sergio Parisse to beat Parisian rivals Racing-Metro 28-19 in Top 14 action on Sunday.
The win leaves Stade in fourth in the table behind leaders Toulon, Clermont and Toulouse, with Oyonnax in fifth above Racing in sixth.
With just two games of the regular season to play, the pressure will be on in the fight to nail down a spot in the top six for the end-of-season play-offs.
