Racing 92 manager Laurent Travers has said that former coaching colleague Ronan O'Gara's La Rochelle were the better side in the Top 14 semi-final at Lille on Friday.

La Rochelle won 19-6 at Stade Pierre Mauroy but the game was effectively over by the end of the opening period. No points were scored after the 53rd minute, and Racing failed to trouble to scoreboard after the 14th minute.
