Racing 92 v Harlequins match preview

Racing 92 and Harlequins, both victims to eventual winners Stade Toulousain in last year’s edition in the quarter and semi-finals respectively, will be looking for a step or two further in this year’s campaign.

The French side will be without a face the English fans will be all-too familiar with after Owen Farrell underwent surgery earlier this month. This will not affect what Racing 92 are capable of though, with a strong side nonetheless.

As for the visitors, coming into this one on strong form, with three wins out of their last five, and world-class talent such as Marcus Smith in their ranks, they will surely pose a threat in the French capital.
