Don’t go anywhere at halftime
• Racing have scored 11 tries in the 20 minutes leading up to halftime this season, more than any other team, while Exeter have scored the most in the 20 minute period immediately after the break (12).
• Racing have scored seven tries on kick returns, more than any other team, while the Chiefs have scored seven tries after a penalty tap. No other club has scored more than two in that way this season.
• Exeter has missed just three of its 40 shots from the post and as a result has the best hit rate for goal kicks (93%). Fly half Joe Simmonds has the best success rate of any player for attempting more than five shots on target (94% – 34/36).
• Exeter has the highest try scorer in the Heineken Champions Cup this season with eighth Sam Simmonds crossing seven times, while Racing’s Finn Russell leads the way in try assists (7).
• Virimi Vakatawa (Racing 92) has beaten 48 defenders, 19 more than any other player and Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs) is one of three players tied for second with 29 defenders defeated (at the level of Jordan Larmour of Leinster and Lewis Ludlam of Northampton Saints).
• Exeter’s Dave Ewers has had 118 tackles, five more than teammate Jonny Gray, who has made the second-most overall (113, 81 for Glasgow Warriors, 32 for Exeter).
