Dan Carter for Racing 92

Dan Carter was flawless with the boot for Racing 92, kicking 14 points in his side's 39-15 Top 14 win over Bordeaux, guaranteeing the Parisians a spot in the French semi-finals.

After a quiet first half, Carter saw his side up 6-0 at the break, with two penalties to his name.

However, Racing came to life in the second half, with tries to Juan Imhoff (2), Louis Dupichot, Teddy Thomas and Leone Nakarawa.

Bordeaux would grab a late pair of consolation tries, with Jean-Baptiste Dubie and Florian Dufour going over late in the second half, but it was too little too late as Carter's Racing climbed to second on the Top 14 ladder.

Carter's Racing 92 are a point clear of Toulouse, containing ex-All Black Charlie Faumuiana, and are six points behind Top 14 leaders Montpellier.
