What a reaction from the FCG!

If Christopher Hilsenbeck (18 points, at 100%) and Jonathan Bousquet (25 points, at 100% also) were the main weapons of the two formations during most of this meeting, Ange Capuozzo illuminated the end of the match, then that his team was behind by two points.

For its part, with two defeats, the RCV will try to recover during the reception of Bayonne, a team which did not miss its reunion with the Pro D2. In Aurillac, Rowing was stunning to win (20-28), thanks in particular to a double from Rémy Baget and at the foot of Gaëtan Germain (13 points).

Agen still can’t do it
On the other hand, Agen was once again beaten and chained a 29th defeat in a row in France. In his lair of Armandia, the SUA fell against Béziers (9-12), during this 2nd day of Pro D2.
