Sale Sharks Dominate Racing 92 to Revive Champions Cup Campaign

Ben Curry leads a physical and disciplined performance as Sale secures a bonus-point victory in rainy Manchester.

Sale Sharks bounced back from a heavy opening-round defeat to Glasgow Warriors with a commanding 29-7 win over Racing 92 in the Champions Cup.
Ben Curry, who scored the bonus-point try, delivered a man-of-the-match performance, spearheading Sale's physical dominance over the French side.
Tries from Jean-Luc du Preez, Tom Roebuck, Joe Carpenter, and Curry highlighted Sale's clinical execution, while Luke Cowan-Dickie and Roebuck were standout contributors.
Racing 92 struggled to adapt to the slippery conditions and made costly tactical errors, including a failed cross-field kick that led to a decisive Sale try.
The victory keeps Sale's Champions Cup hopes alive, while Racing's head coach Stuart Lancaster faces scrutiny as his team continues to underperform in domestic and European competitions.
