The end of the nightmare!
It took 734 days, or 20 months, to watch Agen win again during a rugby match in the league.
Since February 22, 2020, and a victory on the lawn of Brive in the Top 14 (16-30), the Lot-et-Garonnais club had not been able to beat one of its opponents, chaining 34 losses of sharp.
Last disillusionment to date, a defeat against Vannes, penultimate in the classification of Pro D2, 46-3.
This Friday, on the occasion of the reception of Aurillac, the SUA thus won 25 to 21, against an opponent who nevertheless remained on four consecutive victories in the league.
The first points of the meeting were scored by the Agenais, thanks to a penalty scored by Thomas Vincent.
The number 10 has scored almost all of his team's points, with six penalties in total and a conversion.
She's there !
Thank you for your support !

A try by Paul Graou in the 68th allowed the Agenais to lead by more than ten points (25-14) but they were scared until the end of the meeting, with a try scored in the 76th minute by Giorgi Tsutskiridze for Aurillac, and transformed by Marc Palmier.
Despite this first victory of the season, Agen logically stagnates in last place in the Pro D2 standings.
After its large victory against Aix-en-Provence (47-19), Bayonne joined Mont-de-Marsan in the rank of leader (29 points), which lost Thursday against Montauban (21-18).
