The FCG had a last hope to stay in Top 14
There was far too much gap between a penultimate team of the championship and the Clermontes who will play next weekend a semi-final cup of Europe.
The start of the first half is balanced, with both teams taking their time to set their game. After a failure by Camille Lopez, it is David Mélé who opens the penalty score (3-0, 12 '). Unfortunately, on two lost balls, the Clermontes are particularly effective by scoring two tries on a shot (3-12, 27 ').
After the second penalty of David Mélé, Clermont marks a third try after the dismissal (6-17, 32 '). The FCG opener knows its first failure on the siren.
The Grenoblois are picked cold early in the second half by a Radosavljevic try. Clément Gelin answered him in the wake for the first test of the FCG (11-24, 49 ').
Unfortunately, this test sounded Clermont's awakening in the second half, with two attempts in a matter of minutes, a worn balloon and then a Pennaud number, concluded by Raka (11-38, 60 ').
The final minutes are a calvary for the Grenoble, who can not fight against the arrows Clermont. Alexandre Dardet's first game in the heel and after a balloon was the only illumination of the end of the game in Grenoble.
The FCG bend (18-59) and mathematically finds himself in ProD2 tonight.
