Racing 92 will look to continue its winning ways after the club defeated Harlequins last week in the first round of the Investec Champions Cup. 

This week, they'll match up against Manchester side, the Sale Sharks, who conversely, lost their opening-round match against the Glasgow Warriors. 

Along with Harlequins and Glasgow, Sale and Racing 92 reside in Pool 4 of Champions Cup pool play, with the Stormers and Toulon being the other two clubs. 

The Warriors are perched in first place in that pool with five points after picking up the bonus point against Sale, followed by Racing 92 and Toulon, each with four points.
