The FCG hosts Rouen for the first time in its history. The Normans, who went professional this summer, are playing their first season at this level. But the Grenoblois will not face a total unknown, since a former "Rouge & Bleu" plays for the Rouen club: Jordan Michallet, former usher of the club, double French champion Reichel, is one of Rouen Normandy Rugby's executives, with 8 starts in 12 games.
The people of Rouen are experiencing a difficult learning curve in the Pro D2, with 3 wins in the first 12 days. In the struggle for maintenance with Valence-Romans, the other promoted, and Aurillac, the Rouennais can rely on a relatively solid defence, with 28 tries conceded since the beginning of the championship; they nevertheless sinks at the attack level, with only 12 tries scored.
With two points taken away, Rouen is, with Valence-Romans, the only team that has not won a victory on the road. But nothing is certain for the "Red & Blue", who will have to face a team in search of points.
