Nevers host Montauban in Pro D2 on 27 August 2026, with the visitors claiming a 25-21 victory.
The scoreline tells only part of the story. To be fair, the home side had chances to get back into this one before the final whistle.
Nevers sit 13th in the table after 30 games. They've won 11, lost 18, with one draw between them, accumulating 53 points.
Montauban's recent run hasn't exactly inspired confidence. Three heavy defeats on the bounce before this one, including a 71-15 drubbing at Rochelais.
By then, this result shifts the balance slightly. The visitors prove they can still compete when the pressure is on.
Nevers will need to respond. A home loss like this against a struggling side cuts deep.
