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.

Can Australia look to the greats of yesteryear to kickstart the next generation of innovation?

But, Nick what would that identity be for Australia? Everyone keeps harping back to this ‘australian way’ while they wave their hands in lofty notions but very few people seem to be able to articulate a particular style… Is it the free wheeling offload, open style of ella and campese (impossible with modern D), the defensive doggedness of the muggleton era RWC (considered unaustralian), or was it the slick set plays and multi-phase plays of larkham, gregan and eddie jones (this would be my pick if you asked me as someone from the younger gen)? Firstly, id argue that these ‘eras’ are all now long gone and both the world and australia has changed and they aren’t something we can ‘go back to’. The other thing I’d say is that what worked then almost certainly wouldn’t work now given changes in defences etc. I think that Rennie’s attack, when it worked, using powerful ball carriers and overwhelming defenses in short attacking raids in 3-4 phase combos is probably what can work with what is a modern, multicultural australia that heavily relies on pasifika power for any remaining rugby excellence.

I think the more interesting question you touch on is what would innovation look like in the australian space? Where could australia push the frontier? Rassie did it with sheer physicality and rush D at the boks. All blacks did it with electric counter attacking and offloads. Where can Australia find a point of difference and extract advantage from it? Historically this has been to look to league and bring some of that style, or some players from it… Can that work now? Probably not… Whats next? What does aus have naturally in spades more than others? What it looks like I don’t know, but we are in another era where Australia seems to be innovating across sports at the olympics and overperforming given our size/resources. Brumbies and aus tapped into this around 2000, maybe they can again. I think it has to come from this underdog, rag tag type style though that australians love to tap into…
