Union Sportive Olympique Nivernaise is a French rugby union club from Nevers, currently playing in the second level of the country's professional rugby system, Pro D2.
History
[edit]The team origins dates back to 1 August 1903, when Gustave Bossut created the PAG (Peloton d’avant-garde). This quickly became USN (Union sportive nivernaise) and then USON (Union sportive olympique nivernaise) in 1956. The name was changed to USON Nevers Rugby in 2016 to mark a new step in the club's history.[1]
After finishing 3rd at the end of the 2016–17 Fédérale 1 season, they won promotion to the second tier of French rugby after coming back to beat SO Chambéry in the second round of their promotion play-offs. For the first time in their history, they will compete in the Rugby Pro D2 starting from the 2017–18 season.[2]
The team plays in yellow and blue shirts and play their home matches at the 7,500 -capacity Stade du Pré Fleuri in Nevers.[3]
