Emmenés par un Jackson étincelant, auteur d’un doublé (37e, 66e), Sapiac a dominé le SU Agen en maîtrisant parfaitement le jeu au pied et en exploitant les erreurs adverses.

Avec ce succès, Montauban (31 points) reprend les commandes du Pro D2 tandis qu’Agen, en difficulté, s’enlise au milieu du tableau avec une deuxième défaite à domicile cette saison.

Malgré une réaction tardive après des changements à la pause, les Agenais n’ont pas pu renverser la vapeur face à une défense montalbanaise intraitable.

Menés 3-18 à la mi-temps, les locaux ont tenté de revenir grâce à un essai d’Etcheverry (46e) et une pénalité de Pourteau (57e), mais le deuxième essai opportuniste de Jackson a scellé le sort du match, malgré l’essai de Matthieu Bonnet en fin de rencontre.

Défaite d’Agen face à Montauban : les réactions

« On n’a pas su mettre la bonne intensité au début, on a été surpris, on n’a pas mis le bon dosage », a concédé le coach d’Agen Sébastien Calvet, en fin de rencontre. « On était complètement à l’envers sur toute la première période. On devait tenter un coup, deux coups, trois coups et si ça ne marchait pas, on devait jouer dans le dos.

« On a eu une belle réaction en seconde période, mais il y avait 40 minutes avant. On parlait d’objectifs hauts, maintenant, on s’est dit dans le vestiaire qu’on va parler d’objectifs médians. On n’est pas en crise, mais on ne parle plus de qualification, juste d’accrocher le plus de matchs. »

A l’inverse, le manager de l’US Montauban, Sébastien Tillous-Borde, se présentait satisfait de ses joueurs. « J’ai vu un bon match, on a fait des choses basiques, mais plutôt bien », a-t-il confié.

« On s’est mis en danger les 10 premières minutes, mais je suis content pour les gars, surtout après deux sorties plutôt moyennes. On marque de beaux essais, les mecs ont fait le boulot collectivement et individuellement. On a fait beaucoup tourner, on a été mis à mal, mais on a réussi à trouver des repères. On a été très performant dans l’occupation, surtout en première période. »

Does South Africa have a future in European competition?

In another recent article I tried to argue for a few key concept changes for EPCR which I think could light the game up in the North.


First, I can't remember who pointed out the obvious elephant in the room (a SA'n poster?), it's a terrible time to play rugby in the NH, and especially your pinnacle tournament. It's been terrible watching with seemingly all the games I wanted to watch being in the dark, hardly able to see what was going on. The Aviva was the only stadium I saw that had lights that could handle the miserable rain. If the global appeal is there, they could do a lot better having day games.


They other primary idea I thuoght would benefit EPCR most, was more content. The Prem could do with it and the Top14 could do with something more important than their own league, so they aren't under so much pressure to sell games. The quality over quantity approach.


Trim it down to two 16 team EPCR competitions, and introduce a third for playing amongst the T2 sides, or the bottom clubs in each league should simply be working on being better during the EPCR.


Champions Cup is made up of league best 15 teams, + 1, the Challenge Cup winner. Without a reason not to, I'd distribute it evenly based on each leauge, dividing into thirds and rounded up, 6 URC 5 Top14 4 English. Each winner (all four) is #1 rank and I'd have a seeding round or two for the other 12 to determine their own brackets for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I'd then hold a 6 game pool, home and away, with consecutive of each for those games that involve SA'n teams. Preferrably I'd have a regional thing were all SA'n teams were in the same pool but that's a bit complex for this simple idea.


That pool round further finalises the seeding for knockout round of 16. So #1 pool has essentially duked it out for finals seeding already (better venue planning), and to see who they go up against 16, 15,etc etc. Actually I think I might prefer a single pool round for seeding, and introduce the home and away for Ro16, quarters, and semis (stuffs up venue hire). General idea to produce the most competitive matches possible until the random knockout phase, and fix the random lottery of which two teams get ranked higher after pool play, and also keep the system identical for the Challenge Cup so everthing is succinct. Top T2 side promoted from last year to make 16 in Challenge Cup

Does South Africa have a future in European competition?

I had a look at the wiki article again, it's all terribly old data (not that I'd see reason for much change in the case of SA).

Number Of Clubs:

1526

Registered+Unregistered Players:

651146

Number of Referees:

3460

Pre-teen Male Players:

320842

Pre-teen Female Player:

4522

Teen Male Player:

199213

Teen Female Player:

4906

Senior Male Player:

113174

Senior Female Player:

8489

Total Male Player:

633229

Total Female Player:

17917


So looking for something new as were more concerned with adults specifically, so I had a look at their EOY Financial Review.

The total number of clubs remains consistent, with a marginal increase of 1% from 1,161 to 1,167. 8.1.

A comparative analysis of verified data for 2022 and 2023 highlights a marginal decline of 1% in the number of female players, declining from 6,801 to 6,723. Additionally, the total number of players demonstrates an 8% decrease, dropping from 96,172 to 88,828.

So 80k+ adult males (down from 113k), but I'm not really sure when youth are involved with SAn clubs, or if that data is for some reason not being referenced/included. 300k male students however (200k in old wiki data).


https://resources.world.rugby/worldrugby/document/2020/07/28/212ed9cf-cd61-4fa3-b9d4-9f0d5fb61116/P56-57-Participation-Map_v3.pdf has France at 250k registered but https://presse-europe1-fr.translate.goog/exclu-europe-1-le-top-10-des-sports-les-plus-pratiques-en-france-en-2022/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp has them back up at 300k registered.


The French number likely Students + Club, but everyone collects data different I reckon. In that WR pdf for instance a lot of the major nations have a heavily registered setup, were as a nation like England can penetrate into a lot more schools to run camps and include them in the reach of rugby. For instance the SARU release says only 29% of schools are reached by proper rugby programs, where as the 2million English number would be through a much much higer penetration I'd imagine. Which is thanks to schools having the ability to involve themselves in programs more than anything.


In any case, I don't think you need to be concerned with the numbers, whether they are 300 or 88k, there is obviously a big enough following for their pro scenes already to have enough quality players for a 10/12 team competition. They appear ibgger than France but I don't really by the lower English numbers going around.
