Racing 92 score four tries to claim a bonus-point victory over Scarlets in their European Rugby Champions Cup opener.

Racing 92 kicked off their European Rugby Champions Cup campaign with a resounding 29-12 win over Scarlets, securing the bonus point in their emphatic victory.

The French side were playing their first match of the campaign after their match against the Glasgow Warriors was cancelled last week due to the terror attacks on Paris last week.

Maxime Machenaud got the Parisian's first try after seven minutes, before Joe Rokocoko doubled the lead after crashing over out wide.

Machenaud added the conversion to put his side 12-0 ahead and in control of the match in the early stages.

Chris Masoe compounded the visitors' dominance in the contest when he bounded over the line in the 28th minute, and Machenaud held his composure to add the two-point conversion.

Marc Andreu extended Racing's lead just before the break when he raided down the flank and finished a flowing move to cross the line to hand his side the bonus point, and Machenaud was once again accurate with the resulting conversion.

In the second half, the visitors were reduced to 14 men for the rest of the match when Bernard Le Roux was given his marching orders in the 43rd minute to give Scarlets hope of an unlikely comeback.

Aled Thomas got the Welsh side on the board when he crashed over in the corner in the 57th minute, although the fly-half was to miss his kick for the extra two points.

Scarlets notched their second try in the 66th minute through Lewis Rawlins and this time Thomas sent his kick through the posts, but there was to be no comeback from the home side as the visitors held out for the win.
