If you like football, rugby, James Blunt and Johnny Sexton, you are going to love this…
Racing Métro have been preparing for their European Rugby Champions Cup quarter-final, against Saracens, this weekend with a spot of training ground football.
The Parisians are targeting a league and cup double this season and will fancy their chances against Sarries. They face last year’s cup finalists at Stade Yves-du-Manoir and would set up a semi with either Clermont or Northampton with a victory.
Racing posted a video of their latest training session and, in it, we see the likes of Mike Phillips and Irish out-half Johnny Sexton indulging in some soccer.
While some of the skill on show is of a more rudimentary nature, and Sexton’s planned one-two goes wrong, Phillips looks like a dead-eyed finisher.
Wonder if there was champagne for the winners again?
