Benjamin Urdapilleta’s late penalty saw Castres edge past Racing 92 with a 16-13 win in Champions Cup Pool Four.

The sides were locked at 6-6 at half-time after two penalties apiece from Urdapilleta and Maxime Machenaud before a try from Edwin Maka, which was converted by Machenaud, put Racing in front.
