Gregor Townsend: We must raise game for Racing return

Glasgow head coach Gregor Townsend believes his side will have to play even better against Racing 92 if they are to repeat last week’s historic win.

Warriors sprang a major surprise when they toppled the reigning French champions 23-14 in their European Champions Cup clash in Paris. They are now looking to do the double and boost their chances of reaching the knockout stages for the first time in the club’s history when they host the Top 14 giants at Scotstoun tonight.

But Townsend — who will hand forward Josh Strauss his 100th Glasgow appearance against Racing — is worried his side’s opponents may have worked out the Scots after their shock defeat.
