The Ciel et Blanc matched against Lyon this Sunday, for this thirteenth day of the Top 14.
Draws are rather rare in rugby. Well, for its return to the Paris La Défense Arena and last meeting of 2024, the Ciel et Blanc tied the game (25 to 25) against Lyon this Sunday, during this thirteenth day of the Top 14.
Despite their domination, the Racingmen made too many mistakes, notably allowing Lyon to snatch a draw a few seconds before the final whistle thanks to a penalty.
In total, Racing 92 scored three tries (G. Fickou 16', C. Woki 20' and H. Arundell 32'), two of which were converted (N. Le Garrec 17' and 32'), as well as two penalties (N. Le Garrec 72' and 79'). This draw, the Lyon players do not owe it to the tries, since there is only one (S. Radradra 75'), transformed (M. Méliande 76'), but only to the six penalties registered (L . Berdeu 6', 19', 29', 40+1', M. Méliande 54' and 80').
This draw, frustrating for Stuart Lancaster's players, does not do the business of Racing 92, who had a series of defeats during this first part of the 2024/2025 season. Racing 92 nevertheless retains its ninth place in the Top 14.
