Agen slumped to their 16th successive defeat on Saturday with a 39-19 loss to Montpellier earning them the unwanted record of the worst ever start to a French Top 14 season. Perpignan had held the previous run of ineptitude when they slumped to 15 losses in a row in the 2018-2019 season. Agen, who are rock-bottom of the table with just two bonus points to their name, have not won a game in the tournament since beating Brive 30-20 on February 22 last year. mca-frc/dj/jc
