WATCH: Bad blood between Stade Francais and Racing 92 gets VIOLENT

Set against the backdrop of a failed merger between the two sides earlier this season, there was an added edge to proceedings.

With the first-half drawing to a close, the game erupted in violence, with an all-out brawl ending in two red cards, one for each side. Racing's Lauret went, as did, to nobody's surprise, Pascal Pape.
