USON Nevers

Colomiers a facilement dominé Agen (31-5) vendredi 3 octobre 2025 lors du choc de la 6e journée de Pro D2, reprenant ainsi la première place occupée provisoirement par Vannes depuis la veille. Il n’y a jamais vraiment eu de suspense en Haute-Garonne. Les Columérins ont démarré tambour battant et menaient déjà 23-0 à la pause grâce à deux essais, signés par le Néo-Zélandais Caleb Timu (22e) et le jeune demi de mêlée Jules Danglot (35e).

A few issues here. The hitting the player above the shoulder line is when both players are upright and not when competing at a ruck where the jackaler has his shoulders below his hips while attempting to get the ball. The attacking player’s target is therefore reduced and in this instance, Morgan makes contact with the top of the back, bottom of neck area.

Great to read, Nick. All the noise around the 7:1 split seems to mask the fact that Rassie isn’t as obsessed with size as some former Bok coaches. Their backs are getting smaller at a comparable rate to their forwards getting bigger. Cotezee certainly wouldn’t have touched either of their current starting wingers because of their smaller stature. What a loss that would be. I still think they are missing a top drawer test #10 to link the forwards and backs.
