Harlequins are coming to Grenoble

Second round of the Challenge Cup

The FCG will host the Harlequins on Saturday at the Stade des Alpes for the second round of the Challenge Cup. The London club, which has already won this competition three times (2001, 2004 and 2011), will be a strong opponent for the "Rouge & Bleu".

The star

The Harlequins have several English internationals in their ranks (Chris Robshaw, Danny Care, Joe Marler, etc.), but Mike Brown remains undefeatable as the full-back of the Harlequins or the Rose XV.

The last confrontation

The last (and only) match between the FCG and the Harlequins at the Stade des Alpes was played in 2014, during the preparation of the two teams. The FCG had won 31-10, with 4 tries for the "Rouge & Bleu", including one, supersonic by Alipate Ratini.

The last games

The Harlequins made a perfect start to the Challenge Cup by winning an bonus-point victory over Agen (54-22). Before that, the Londoners had won in Gloucester (25-27) and then lost on their pitch to the Saracens (20-25).

Upcoming games

The Quins will play their first Premiership Cup matches in Bath and then face Newcastle at Stoop.
