Third victory in a row

We were expecting a tough fight between the leader of Grenoble and Mont-de-Marsan, in the final stages of Pro D2. And we got it.

In the game, the "Rouge & Bleu" ensure two penalties by Burton Francis (6-0, 7 '), before Christophe Loustalot took advantage of the Grenoble mistakes to return to the score (6-6, 15 '). After a successful drop by the Grenoble opener for his first game of the season (9-6, 25 '), the former half-scrimmage of the FCG equalizes again (9-9, 29').

After the half-hour of play and a first yellow card for the visitors, the Grenoblois had to dig a little away with a penalty try (16-9, 33 '). South Africa's FCG opener adds one more penalty kick before the break (19-9, 39 ')

In the second half, the Grenoblois spend more than 10 minutes in the 22 opponents, but they fail to realize their dominance. It is finally Agen who reduces the score by a test at the end of the line (19-14, 60 '). Gervais Cordin then took charge of the game: the young FCG squad recovered a ball on his feet, which had been sent back to the foot by the Montois, and darted into the defense to score an 80-meter test transformed by Clément Gelin (26-14, 66 ')

Despite the gap on the scoreboard, Mont-de-Marsan did not admit defeat and obtained a penalty try after a voluntary forward from Eddie Sawailau, who will be yellow carded on this hole (26 -21, 70 ')

At 15-14, the Grenoblois will set up the barbed wire and ensure their third consecutive victory of the season, which keeps them at the top of the championship, before the Colomiers game Sunday and the move of the FCG to Montauban next Thursday for the fourth day . Another match that looks tough for the bodies of the players (and the hearts of the fans)
