Racing starting to control this one now. Ball is kept in the forwards and Classen does well to get himself over the line for Racings 3rd try.

Jannie Bornman back on and Castres back up to 15 men.

Not a good kick from the scrum-half and the score remains 24-10.

Castres have a chance to get hit backs Racing penalised at the ruck. Kockett will go for posts.

Racing start the half well and capitalise on Castres indiscipline as Sexton knocks over another kick.

Good game in Paris and Racing Metro are ahead by 21-10 against Castres. 2 tries for the hosts in the first half has put them into 6th for the time being which could see them qualify for Champions Cup rugby. Sexton has been good from the boot on his final home game for the blue and whites. Should be an interesting 2nd half so join us in 10 for live updates of the second half.

Bornman sent to the bin for foul play on Machenaud and that brings an end to the half.

Gone to the TMO here to check for foul play on Maxime Machenaud. Jane Bornman could be in trouble here.

Kick is good from Sexton as he extends the home's side lead out to 11.

Racing playing with an advantage but their attempted attack comes to nothing. Ref comes back to the penalty and Sexton opts for the posts.
