Owen Farrell's English understudy makes Top 14 team of the week
By Josh Raisey
Owen Farrell made his return from injury over the weekend as the relegation-threatened Racing 92 defeated ASM Clermont-Auvergne 21-23, but it was his team-mate Dan Lancaster who made Midi Olympique's team of the week.
The former England captain started on the bench at the Stade Marcel Michelin as he made his return from an adductor injury that had kept him sidelined since January as his side slipped further and further down the Top 14 ladder.
Starting in his No.10 jersey was former England U20 fly-half Dan Lancaster, who kicked 10 points in the victory to earn his place in the team of the week.
Lancaster arrived in Paris over the summer from Ealing Trailfinders alongside Farrell to link up with his father, Stuart, who was coaching the side. He made a promising start to his career in sky blue and white, and was making his first appearance in the starting XV against Clermont since Stuart Lancaster left the club in January.
The win leaves Racing in 12th place in the league, seven points ahead of Vannes, who are in the automatic relegation spot, and five points clear of Perpignan in the relegation play-off spot.
With seven rounds remaining in the league, plenty of points can still be won and lost, but Farrell's return will certainly boost Racing's fortunes. The 112-cap England international will likely reclaim the No.10 jersey, but Lancaster has given coach Patrice Collazo plenty to think about.
Lancaster was joined by compatriot Joe Marchant in the team of the week, who scored a try as relegation rivals Stade Francais beat Bayonne. Stade Francais' win leaves them one place and one point ahead of their Parisian rivals, Racing.
The team of the week was flooded with French internationals who were making their club returns after a triumphant Guinness Six Nations campaign in blue.

As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, I encourage you to trust HACK SAVVY TECH they truly know how to help.
