Despite the return of the dancers of the Moulin Rouge, Stade Français, last in the Top 14, went deeper into the crisis by losing the derby against Racing 92 (25-9), who even offered the bonus , Sunday at the end of the 9th day.

The days pass and, no offense to the leaders of Stade Français, the specter of relegation takes more and more space. The Stadistes, unable to score a try in this derby, are last with 9 small points. Worse, they are now seven points behind the barrage (13th), Agen.

With a hat-trick of Teddy Thomas (11th, 36th, 80th) and the bonus on the gong, Racing leaves him, place of barrage and climbs to the 10th place.

"When you go to the stadium, you will see a surprise, you will see a change," said Hans-Peter Wild, owner and president of Stade Francais, on Saturday, admitting he did not "do things very well with our supporters".

But if the change was seen in the management team, with the arrival of former Parisian player Thomas Lombard as general manager and also in the return of the show in a stadium Jean Bouin well filled without being full, it is not is not seen on the ground.

. Triplet of Teddy Thomas

Because, from the beginning of the match, the control was Racing side, invigorated by the return of many globalists.

The Racingmen were logically rewarded with a test of the very stirring Teddy Thomas, well served by Vakatawa on his right wing (11th, transformed by Machenaud 7-0).

The Stade de France was initially fragile and imprecise, like the Argentinian globalist Nicolas Sanchez, while his direct opponent, the Scottish Racing Finn Russell, was precise and clever.

After a penalty from Machenaud (10-0, 20th), it is another shot of Russell, shaving this time, which brings the second test of Teddy Thomas still at the end of the straight line (36th, 15-6). Not transformed by Machenaud on the pole.

Meanwhile, the Parisians had reduced the gap with two easy penalties from Sanchez, who chained again after the bells.

The Parisians took advantage of the indiscipline of the Sky and White - materialized by a yellow card from Vakatawa (23rd) - to return to the locker room with six points behind (15-9), registering penalties on their rare visits to the opponent's land .

The Racingmen, who increased their lead by Machenaud penalty (47th, 18-9), remained serious in defense and have even enhanced the derby of fear with the triplet Thomas (80th).

Before facing the Saracens in the European Cup, what better than to bury the Parisian brother-in-law in the crisis to finally launch his season?
