An important match against LOU on Sunday
At the end of 2024, Racing 92 is in a delicate position, only ninth in the Top 14 while it was in the lead at the same time a year earlier. “Then we lost momentum. But paradoxically, I find us better this year, as a group”said Lancaster before meeting Lyon on Sunday, a little lower ranked than them. “I remain confident in the direction we are taking.” On the players' side“we are mainly focused on collective performances and Sunday’s match rather than anything that is said about the club”said Cameroon third row Woki.
