RC Vannes' 30-20 win over Lyon marks a historic milestone as the club debuts in the French Top 14, showcasing the rising interest in rugby in Brittany.
The vibrant crowd of 11,792 at Stade de la Rabine reflects the growing enthusiasm for rugby in the region, previously considered a non-traditional rugby area.
Pro D2's upcoming broadcasting deal will significantly increase financial support for clubs, fueling competition and ambition, with many aspiring to follow in Vannes' footsteps.
