Flying Fijian winger Filipo Nakosi scored the first try for Castres Olympique just before halftime to cut the deficit to 10-13.

Nakosi’s try was the beginning of an attempt by the visitors to overcome Parisian hosts Racing 92 early this morning.

Another try by prop Wayan de Beneditis in the 55th minute put the Olympians in front 20-16 on cue for an upset.

But Racing 92 had the final say in the 70th minute by a try from Argentinian back Emiliano Bofelli to snatch the game back to 23-20 from the visitors.

Castres returned home with a bonus point loss while Racing 92 recorded their fourth win in a row.
