Cardiff Rugby v Racing 92 LIVE: Kick-off time, TV channel and score updates

Cardiff Rugby welcome French club Racing 92 to the Welsh capital this afternoon in Challenge Cup action.

Cardiff head coach Corniel van Zyl has ripped up his team from the one that lost to the Ospreys on New Year's Day, with eight changes.

Taine Basham makes his appearance since last month, while scrum-half Aled Davies, centre Cornel Smit, wings Iwan Stephens and Tom Bowen, along with full-back Jacob Beetham, come into the back-line, among other alterations. You can read more here.

The home side will qualify with a round to spare if they beat the Parisians and Ulster beat the Cheetahs in Amsterdam tomorrow.
