Racing 92 conceded the draw against Agen (27-27), at home on Saturday, and can even imagine himself happy after being conducted in the last 10 minutes.
Racing players will still be able to feed regrets on the last penalty of Hidalgo-Clayne, after a baroud of honor of his teammates who had obtained the fault two minutes after the siren. The attempt was missed, and with it, the four points of victory.
A week after the win in Pau, a jump after a disappointing start to the season, the Sky and White have fallen back into their bad habit, despite a promising start to the match, who placed them in orbit, (16-3, 28th).
The men of Laurent Travers, who had made only two changes in his starting XV, finally had to fight to snatch the draw, after passing for the first time in the meeting behind the scoreboard in the 70th minute and a test of Taulagi (27-24).
The Ciel et Blanc, 11th at the kickoff, then stammered their rugby and they seemed caught up in the doubts of the beginning of the season, especially at home where they won only once in four games.
They first clumsily, like the ball released by Imhoff just in front of his in-goal, Tolot maliciously flattened (16-10, 32nd). Then, they lost the intensity that allowed them to outrageously dominate the first part.
Despite a numerical superiority in the second half, they failed to score points, Iribaren missing in all three attempts, after a 100% early in the game on his first four kicks. The end of the match was even to the advantage of the Agenais, who scored three tries in all, one more than Racing.
