Highlights: Sale Sharks vs Racing 92, Dec. 13

Racing 92 Rugby enters the 2025-2026 Top 14 season looking to reset after a difficult campaign. 

The Paris-based club, known for its ambitious recruitment and modern home at Paris La Défense Arena, finished 10th last season with an 11-2-13 record. 

Despite flashes of quality, the side struggled to string together wins and missed out on the playoffs, continuing a trend of inconsistency in recent years.

This season provides another chance to balance the squad’s experienced French core with its high-profile internationals. 

Racing 92 long has attracted global talent, and this year is no different with players like Taniela Tupou and Nathan Hughes bringing strength up front, while Josua Tuisova and Gael Fickou provide firepower in the backs.

The team’s fortunes often hinge on maintaining momentum across the long domestic season, and consistency will be vital. 

With a schedule featuring heavyweight clashes against Toulouse and Toulon, and important home fixtures at Paris La Défense Arena, Racing 92 will need sharper execution if they want to climb back toward the playoff picture.

Fans in the United States will again be able to follow the campaign on FloRugby and the FloSports app, part of the platform’s extensive coverage of the Top 14. That accessibility keeps Racing 92 in the spotlight for international supporters.
