Blagnac Sporting Club Rugby is a French rugby union team that currently takes part in Fédérale 2, the second level of the country's amateur league system. In 2007-08, the club played in France's second professional level, Rugby Pro D2, but finished bottom of the table. This automatically led to their relegation to the first amateur level, Fédérale 1, but a postseason audit revealed financial problems serious enough that French sporting authorities forcibly relegated them further to Fédérale 2, pending a club appeal.
