For the 17th day of Pro D2, Bayonne welcomes Aurillac. After having drawn in Agen, Rowing will have to show more character to start its year at home, against a team which had dominated in the fight and the engagement, in particular in the first period, during the first leg. .
After a recovery far from convincing with a draw in Agen last Thursday 16-16, the Bayonnais host Aurillac this Friday to Jean Dauger. In the first leg, roughed up in front and roughed up in conquests, Yannick Bru’s men owed their salvation only to a feat of Rémy Baget, author of a double including an interception of nearly 50 meters.

Last week, we weren’t there“says trainer Antoine Battut.
