Racing's preparations have been disrupted by nine positive Covid-19 tests, but former Scotland international Johnnie Beattie says the players feel on the "cusp of achieving something special".
"It has been a bit of disruption but with the talent they have, they are looking forward to this final, and have all bought into it." Beattie, who played for three different French clubs during his playing career, told the BBC's Rugby Union Weekly.
"It's a two-week window to achieve their dreams, which do not come around very often.
"With Finn [Russell] and this next crop of young players, mixed with some steely old heads, they are going to be a really tricky team to break down."

Exeter are playing in their first Champions Cup final but former England scrum-half Matt Dawson says it would be "one of the greatest upsets in European history" if they didn't win.
"Everybody knows anything can happen in finals," Dawson told the BBC's Rugby Union Weekly (RUW) podcast.

Speaking to BT Sport, Exeter head coach Rob Baxter said: "Today is about the group of players. They have made sacrifices to get here and now it is time for them to take their reward. We know it's gong to take 80 minutes and we have prepared for that.
"We know how to win the game but when you come up against good sides, they are fighting the same way you are. Everything feels good and we are physically ready but we have to win the mental battle as well."

The journey is the same, but Exeter's destination is now very different.
Ten years ago, Exeter travelled up the M5 to Bristol for the biggest match in the club's history.
On a damp May evening, Exeter shocked Bristol to take a place in the Premiership for the first time.
You can hear the thoughts of five men who have seen the club's decade-long rise from the inside here.

It's been a good weekend for English sides playing in their first European final.
Bristol Bears beat French side Toulon in the Challenge Cup final in France on Friday.
Harry Randall's try after 15 seconds set the West Country club on their way to their first major honour since 1983.
Powerful Toulon hit back to lead 16-10 at the break before Max Malins' well-worked try and Callum Sheedy's boot saw the Bears eventually earn a comfortable win in front of 1,000 spectators in Aix-en-Provence.
