Agen a pris sa revanche sur Biarritz (26-7) en signant un succès bonifié décisif pour rester dans la course au Top 6, jeudi 16 avril, en ouverture de la 27e journée de Pro D2.

Les Agenais ont inscrit quatre essais, contre un seul pour les Biarrots, et reviennent provisoirement à deux points de Brive, 6e, qui reçoit Aurillac (8e) vendredi. Par cette deuxième défaite de rang – la troisième en cinq rencontres, le SUA reste ainsi dans la course aux barrages d’accession.

Au match aller, c’est Agen qui s’était pris une gifle (33-16). Cette fois, les choses se sont passées différemment.

Le SUA a tué tout suspense dès le premier quart d’heure grâce à Martins (3e) et Burin (15e), puis Etcheverry a offert le bonus provisoire avant que Nutsubidze ne relance brièvement le BO avant la pause (21-7, 37e). Malgré une domination basque en seconde période, les visiteurs ont manqué de précision et de réussite.

En fin de match, Martins, irrésistible, a scellé le score et le bonus offensif (78e), devenant co-meilleur marqueur du Pro D2.

Les Basques font eux une mauvaise opération en vue du maintien, avant la réception de Provence Rugby par Béziers (15e) et le derby landais entre Mont-de-Marsan (12e) et Dax (14e) vendredi soir.

'The phoney war on the Greatest Rivalry tour is already gale-force in its intensity.'

2 pretty distinct camps developing around this tour but are NZ concentrating their fire where they should be. South Africa built 114 rucks at the weekend, had 148 carries and forced Argentina into 188 tackles. Argentina made 92% of their tackles and defended like beasts. South Africa also made just 147 passes indicating the one off runner was a big theme behind that thanks to Argentina line speed and a willingness to fan out on defence. The Boks also made 43 kicks, how did they do that while building 114 rucks? Lots of possession thats how. Argentina focused on making tackles and meeting physicality head on in the contact zone, they let the Boks have the rucks and the ball. Springboks also couldnt win the ball back from the contestables, kicked too long, made too many mistakes, retreating catchers taking the ball over their heads worked. Argentina could and perhaps should have drawn despite their scrum and set piece struggling. Even so they gave the All Blacks a template on how to defend the Boks. Their wide attack also exposed space and if they didnt have 16 handling errors they might have done something special. NZ are talking about running the Boks off their feet, playing with tempo and pace and building rucks. Perhaps the best way to beat the Boks is to let them have the ball, make mistakes and then spread it wide using your skill to beat the defence? So my question is, are NZ firing shots on and off the field in the wrong direction playing into the hands of an opponent that wants them to run? Judging by the Stormers game I would say yes.
