Racing 92 claimed a decisive 22-10 victory over USA Perpignan in the French Super Sevens tournament on Thursday, 21 August 2026. The result comes after both sides had suffered defeats in separate sevens matches earlier that same day.
The hosts entered the fixture looking to recover from their 17-7 loss to Toulon 7, while Racing 92 were attempting to bounce back from a heavy 17-0 defeat to Monaco 7. Instead of finding redemption, Perpignan found themselves on the wrong side of a comfortable away win.
Racing 92 controlled the tempo from the outset, using their pace to exploit spaces in the Perpignan defence. The visitors scored at regular intervals, building a lead that Perpignan could never seriously challenge. The final margin of twelve points reflected the gulf in performance between the two sides.
Perpignan's recent form has been inconsistent, with losses to Bordeaux and the French Barbarians in August 2025 alongside a victory over Clermont. Racing 92 have shown flashes of quality, including a 17-5 win against Stade Français Paris and a 15-12 victory over Montauban Sevens, though they've also struggled against stronger opposition.
The result leaves Racing 92 with momentum heading into the next round, while Perpignan will need to regroup quickly. In sevens rugby, where matches are decided in twenty minutes, a single poor session can derail an entire weekend.
