Racing 92 miraculously in Brive, Toulon strolls in Agen

Already last week against Pau, the Racingmen had waited for the final moments of the meeting to win.

They did it again this Saturday in Brive (23-19). While they had not been in the lead of the match, they passed their opponent in the very last seconds thanks to Fabien Sanconnie, as against the Section Palois, child of the Corrèze region.

However, the locals had done almost everything well. Ahead at the break (16-3), they resisted in the second period before breaking at the worst of times.

It is a defeat that hurts, very badly, the head for the Brivists: the 5th in a row in the league. The Coujous are no longer advancing and stagnate in place of barrage.

Toulon serious in Agen

Agen is a land where it is good to take points. This was confirmed again this Saturday. Toulon, authors of five tries, was not missed and left with the offensive bonus.

However, the RCT struggled for a long time on Saturday to set up its twirling game in Agen soil. But as often this season, the locals ended up folding and cashed a string of points.

Led by his former All Black Ma’a Nonu, holder for the first time in Agen, the Toulonnais blew up the Agen lock, not necessarily well closed.

Without being flamboyant, the visitors took advantage of their opponent’s indiscipline to ensure a five-point victory.

Toulon, 4th in the Top 14 tied with the Clermontois, continues its path in the Top 14.

On the other hand, the nightmare still does not end for the SUA which still has not won the slightest meeting.

Bayonne gives itself some air

Bayonne, although unruly, did not tremble to logically overcome a Montpellier team diminished and lacking in spring (29-20) on Saturday.

The Rowing is off again. For his third game of the season at home, he relied on the precise footing of his striker Gaëtan Germain and on the realism of his wingers Joe Ravouvou and Aymeric Luc, authors of a test each at the start of each period, to establish their superiority and move away from the red zone.

For its third away game of the season, Montpellier did not do better than in the previous two. Between the wounded and the absent internationals, Xavier Garbajosa’s men certainly did not have the weapons to export themselves to the Basques determined and sure of their strength.

With three more matches behind, the MHR ranking remains anecdotal but it will be necessary to show something else in the coming weeks to reassure ourselves and move up the rankings.
