Fiji born Virimi Vakatawa scored a try for his French club Racing 92 seeing off Leicester Tigers 34‑11 in their Champions Cup clash

Fiji born Virimi Vakatawa continued in his brilliant performance with his French Club, Racing 92 scoring a try in their 34-11 win over  Leicester Tigers as they continue their unbeaten run in the Champions Cup.

Racing 92 dominated for long periods, particularly during the early stages.

They held a 24‑6 lead midway through the opening half thanks to tries from Teddy Iribaren, Juan Imhoff and Vakatawa, which were all converted by Finn Russell, who also added a penalty.

Leicester’s only points up to that point came courtesy of two George Ford penalties but, despite their poor start, the Tigers struck back with a George Worth try which meant Racing held a 24‑11 lead at half‑time.

An early penalty from Russell and a second try Imhoff in the second half sealed the win for Racing  during the game’s dying moments.
