The FCG won the derby at the Stade des Alpes
The "Rouge & Bleu" quinquennium in Top 14 ended with a victory against the LOU in the Rhône-Alpes derby.
After being picked cold by a Lyon try (0-7, 3 '), the Grenoble woke up, with an ambitious and muscular game. Eddie Sawailau (5 '), Dylan Jacquot (12') and Lilian Saseras (33 ') each scored a try, Jonathan Wisniewski scoring several kicks. The Grenoblois returned to the locker room with 20 points (27-7)
The second period started strong for the "Red & Blue" with a large balloon that sends Arnaud Héguy to the test (34-7, 43 '). In the wake, the LOU negotiates a bad penalty in the 22 of the FCG and loses the ball. Eddie Sawailau scored his second attempt of the night (39-7, 49 ').
After a second attempt for Stéphane Clément on the Lyon side, the FCG resumed its march forward: after its first throw of the evening, Alexandre Dardet scores after a large balloon carried FCG (46-7, 54 '). . After a trial refused to Lilian Saseras, the forwards Grenoble punish their counterparts Lyon. The penalty is played fast and Nugel Hunt scores (53-14, 58). Lyon scored the last points of the match (53-21, 59 ').
The fate of the FCG was sealed well before the match, but the "Rouge & Bleu" were keen to win this derby to thank their loyal fans, who will return to the Stade des Alpes in August.
