Castres (AFP)
Castres, although pale Saturday night, prevailed on his turf against a team agenaise full of pellet (30-27), showing a lack of control that can worry for the future given the ambitions of the champion of France 2018.
The Agenais, whose ambition is to stay, have paid the luxury of leading to the Tarn, just before the half-hour of play, thanks to a second try, causing the bronca in the stands castraises.
However, it was believed that the Tarnais, after a feverish start to the match, would return to confidence when Dumora, the opener of the CO, scored a first test of good quality.
But the Castres team was misguided, with a rough game, while the Agenais have successfully planted their banderillas.
Fortunately for Tarn, they were able to rely on the success of their striker, Julien Dumora (6 of 7).
In ten minutes and two opportunistic attempts, the Castrais have restored the situation even if they returned to the locker room with a meager savings, four points ahead (24-20)
Agen stayed in the game with a new test in defense + Gruyère + Castrais who, in addition, showed huge gaps on all referrals, putting each time under pressure Agen.
Agen missed the penalty of the draw and the last word returned to the very weak Castres, who nevertheless ensured the minimum service.
