Top 14 Highlights: Racing 92 vs Brive
- 1314
Racing will be pleased to come away from today's Top 14 clash win at home. Despite Brive's best efforts Racings performance was enough to keep them out in the end.
Brice Dulin got the scoring underway early on for the hosts followed by another just moments later from Andreu. Carter added the extras bringing the score up to 14-0 after only 13 minutes. Brive bounced back well however with a try from Lagrange which was converted by Laranjeira. Each team managed to get a penalty before halftime bringing the scoreline to 17-10 after the first 40.
There was very little to separate the two teams in the second half. Lagrange get binned for a silly challenge on a player in the lineout but Racing weren't able to capitalise on it. With 8 minutes to spare Laranjeira bagged his side another penalty but Racings defence was just about strong enough to hold the visitors out til the final whistle.
