Selected XV and bench unverified at the 2 October 2026, 16:52 SAST cutoff.

Probable teams, training groups and previous-round selections are excluded, leaving personnel dimensions ungraded.

Probable teams, training groups and previous-round selections are excluded, leaving personnel dimensions ungraded.
Key Matchups
No selected-unit edge is asserted before the XVs and benches are verified; “close” in these placeholder rows means ungraded. Antoine Aucagne (USA Perpignan) has 34 points in 3 Top 14 appearances at this four-round cutoff; Tristan Tedder (USA Perpignan) has 16 points in 2 Top 14 appearances at this four-round cutoff. These are past contributions, not proof that either player is selected this weekend. If Perpignan announce continuity in the key kicking roles while Racing rotate theirs, the slim home lean needs reviewing. The league results remain the only graded basis beyond venue and head-to-head.
Match Forecast
Racing are a six-point provisional lean through the venue and the recent rivalry. A 37–31 home win in January is a more useful margin reference than the old 59–10 result. They need the same sort of controlled finish rather than another fast start that their defence cannot protect. The seven-dimension net is +3; the unmodified two-way house output is 71% for Racing 92, with no separate draw probability.
Perpignan’s 38–25 win over Bordeaux is the strongest fresh counterevidence. Their previous away collapse does not automatically repeat, and both teams’ XVs and benches are unverified. The model leaves those comparisons at zero; that is missing evidence, not measured equality.
Provisional — Racing 92 by 6; selected XVs and benches are unverified.
Provisional: Home and away selected XVs and benches; three personnel dimensions are ungraded.
