Racing run in nine tries in Bayonne romp

On a bitterly cold night in Paris and with a host of top stars either rested or on Six Nations duty, fans voted with their feet as just 6,000 turned up at the Stade Colombes.

Brice Dulin, Henry Chavancy, Gerbrandt Grobler (two), Dimitri Szarzewski, Teddy Thomas (two), James Hart and Marc Andreu all scored tries for champions Racing who are seventh in the table.

Bayonne remain bottom of the table and at 13 points from safety, they appear doomed to relegation.
