So at the third time of asking, Racing win a penalty from the scrum.

Racing 92 3-7 Cardiff
OK, first scrum of the game and a huge test for Cardiff tight-head Keiron Assiratti - up against World Cup winner Trevor Nayakane.
The Cardiff number three looks set to be wearing the red jersey of Wales this Six Nations.

Racing 92 3-7 Cardiff
That's Rhys Carre's fifth try already this season.
There have been question over his fitness since Warren Gatland axed him last summer from his World Cup training group.
But you cannot deny his power and he has an eye for the line.
No wonder clubs are sniffing around him. Saracens have been among those rumoured to be looking to sign him next season.

Rhys Carre try, Tinus de Beer conversion
Wow what a response by Cardiff.
Tomos Williams sent the Wales prop charging into the Racing midfield from a lineout and three phases later, Carre is back on his feet to barge over between the posts.
Easy conversion for De Beer and Cardiff take a shock early lead.
Game on.

Racing 92 3-0 Cardiff
Disappointing start for Mackenzie Martin who signed his first professional contract this week.
The 20-year-old forward has gone from regional debut to a Wales call up in seven games.
Sensational.

Oh Siya Kolisi thought he was straight through then but referee Christophe Ridley calls him back for crossing.
Early warning for Cardiff.

Racing 92 v Cardiff (15:15 GMT)
Neither of these teams have set the competition alight recently.
Racing may have a star-studded squad that is top of the Top 14 but have lost seven of their last eight in the Champions Cup.
That includes losing the 2022 Champions Cup semi-final to eventual champions La Rochelle.
Cardiff are on their worst Champions Cup run for a decade, having lost the last six games when they have taken the field.
That run spans the 'walkover' they were awarded for the tie against Toulouse that was cancelled due to Covid-19.
They have not lost seven in a row for 20 years.

Racing 92 v Cardiff (15:15 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesHello and welcome to La Defense Arena in Paris for this Champions Cup tie.
The setting deserves more than a basement battle in Pool 2 but bizarrely, despite neither side winning a game, both teams could progress to the knockout stages.
That is because fourth-placed Ulster failed to pick up a point in their 47-19 hammering at Harlequins.
Today's winner will take fourth place and an away draw in the last 16.
So lets have a look at the teams.
