Officially relegated, Agen left to break the worst records during a nightmarish season

It’s the poo, it’s the disaster, it’s the disaster… We did not find better than a sentence of Bernard Campan, native of Agen, in The three brothers to summarize the season of the SUA in Top 14. The Lot-et-Garonnais club has been officially relegated to Pro D2 since Friday evening and the victory of Pau over Bayonne (43-33), which allows the Béarn team, 13th, to believe always maintaining.

For Agen, who should have received the UBB this Saturday in a world without Covid, hope has died for a long time. The eight-time champion of France did not win a match, just gleaned two miserable defensive bonus points in 20 days. It displays by far the worst attack (267 points scored) and the worst defense (806 conceded).

Bourgoin in the crosshairs

Smaller elite budget (13.2 million euros, against 38.8 for Stade Français, at the other end of the scale), relieved of its best players season after season since its recovery in 2017, the Sella, Berbizier or Benetton club saw a way of the cross which still lacked six stations before moving on.

The objective for the men trained by Régis Sonnes is now to avoid making history by doing worse than Bourgoin (6 points in 2010-2011). At the time, the CSBJ still won two games and compiled eleven units on the field, but had five withdrawn for financial reasons. In recent months, there are several meters of water in the streets of the penalty of the supporters of the SUA, as Francis Cabrel might sing, absolute fan of the club.
