For Henry Broncan, SU “Agen loses the match in numerical superiority”

Henry Broncan often recalls that it was in Lombez and Auch that he experienced his best Rugby years, but he does not forget the three seasons spent in Agen, a very good memory: “The SUA is a magnificent club, it's a past, a history, but also a present with a lot of young people, it's the most exclusive club I've ever met.”

He watched the match in Brive with a little more attention than usual and dissects it for our readers: “Rugby is curious. Sometimes it's inconsistent. Agen, outnumbered, manages very well , as much, when they find themselves fifteen against thirteen, they completely lose the thread, and that is when they lose the match ten minutes against fifteen and only 3 to 3 at the end because. that Agen lost the thread and completely missed the management of the match The Brive scrum dominated that of Agen, but the Agen touch surprised me a lot with its quality. It's very rare to take balls in Brive and. the Agenais have achieved this. Agen has a very good third line, a little light perhaps, but of much greater stature than that of Brive, which is too heavy. The Agenais three-quarters have been in the match for a long time, but the conditions. weather their were fatal Thursday evening, they were much superior to the Brivists Finally, they lost the match in scrum, even though they surprised me on the mauls. I was told they weren't good at it, but I felt they were dangerous. But I come back to the period where they are fifteen against thirteen, they must drive the point home. We feel them feverish, poorly negotiated balls, direct hits… Until then, they had shown a lot of mastery, we felt they were capable of beating the Brivists. At that moment, they completely lose their footing.”

With a life practically devoted to training, Henry Broncan's opinion counts a lot, he does not discard: “I had seen the Nice match, the pre-match atmosphere, the minute of silence for Medhi Narjissi… A context which explains a non-match I believe that Sébastien Calvet does a very good job. We have the impression that he gets along very well with the staff. local Agen remained on two. very nice, significant successes and again on Thursday evening I thought they were capable of winning. Brive was not good, clumsy, inconsistent, their opener's attempt is too easy. I really like the third line from Agen. are the kind of players Brive is missing.”
