Brive suffers defeat at the hands of Biarritz, Colomiers moves ahead in the Pro D2 due to victory over Aurillac

In a dramatic turn of events, several teams in the French second division saw their fortunes change this past weekend. Here's a rundown of the key matches and their outcomes.

US Dax, who had struggled initially with three consecutive defeats, managed to secure their first win of the season against Oyonnax. The final score was 18-14, marking a significant milestone for the team. Unfortunately, specific details about the match were not available. The victory has helped US Dax to move up to 0 points in the Pro D2 table, albeit still at the bottom.

Meanwhile, SU Agen put up a strong performance in Carcassonne, emerging victorious against an unspecified opponent with a score of 17-13. The win has propelled SU Agen to the runner-up position in Pro D2. The match was played in challenging weather conditions, adding an extra layer of difficulty to an already intense contest.

The Béziers team dominated their rivals Mont-de-Marsan, winning with a convincing score of 43-9. The Brive team, on the other hand, suffered a narrow defeat against Biarritz, with a score of 20-17. Biarritz secured a bonus point in their victory, thanks to five tries, three of which were scored in the final quarter.

In another significant development, the Columérins took the lead in Pro D2 due to their bonus-point victory against Aurillac, with a score of 38-13. However, no specific information about the match was available.

Elsewhere, Soyaux-Angoulême faced a tough challenge against Valence-Romans, ending in a 31-0 defeat for the former. The scores and results of the matches between Béziers and Mont-de-Marsan, Soyaux-Angoulême and Valence-Romans, and US Dax and Oyonnax do not affect the current top teams' positions in the Pro D2 standings. However, they might influence the relegation battle at the bottom of the table.

The Brive team had previously won against Nevers at the Stade des Alpes, but their recent loss to Biarritz could potentially shake up the standings in the coming weeks. The Dacquois were penalized with a 5-point fine before the start of the Pro D2 Championship.

As the season progresses, the Pro D2 standings are expected to become more competitive, with teams fighting for every point to secure their place in the division. Stay tuned for more updates!
