Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage between Racing 92 and Clermont Auvergne.
Clermont are in desperate form and are now up against it to reach the play-offs domestically but can still contend for the European Champions Cup.
Racing currently sit just six points off the top and a victory would keep the teams below them at arm’s length. In terms of squad selection, the home side seem to have an advantage on paper but they will need to do the talking on the pitch. Join me for kick off at 8pm.
