Its all over here in Paris as Stade hold off Racing to win the Paris derby. A good performance by both teams saw the match go down to the wire but it was Stade Francais first half performance that made all the difference. Racing had a good second half by clawing their way into the match but Stade just about held on.

A great try by Racing after a scrum on the half way. The ball went from the left hand wing to the right with a lovely bit of hands the substitute Dambielle touching down in the corner. The try scorer couldn't covert so Racing are now 1 point behind with a few minutes left.
