Racing Metro will still be scratching their heads at the scoreline and their defeat to Edinburgh in the last round of Heineken Cup games in Pool 2 when they host London Irish.
The French side lost their last Heineken Cup game 48-47 to Edinburgh in the Scottish capital but will be hoping to record their first victory of this campaign when they clash with the Premiership outfit on Saturday.
Both sides have failed to win a game so far in their Pool, with London Irish narrowly to Cardiff Blues and Edinburgh. The Paris-based side will be looking to add to their woes when the sides meet at the Stade Yves Du Manoir.
Racing Metro 92, who are in only their second season in the Heineken Cup, have lost their last two games in the tournament and will want to rectify that when the run out in Paris.
