The Grenoblois scared but won their first at home (26-22)
In a well-stocked Alpine Stadium, under heavy summer heat, Grenoble welcomed Massy, a resident of Federal 1 last season.
The Grenoble players quickly take the game and opened the scoring by Sona Taumalolo (7-0, 12 '). After several failures at the foot of David Mélé, Massy reduced the score on his first foray into the Grenoble camp (7-3, 31 '). On the return, the FCG resumed its march forward: after a breakthrough by Gervais Cordin, David Mélé finds Lolagi Visinia, at the foot, which flattened in the in-goal (14-3, 34 ') In the wake, the Grenoblois Are surprised and concede a test (14-8, 36 ')
The Grenoblois dominate the start of the second half, pressing their melee power. On one of them, David Mélé escapes behind the goal line (19-8, 50 '), then Fabien Alexandre escapes from a balloon carried to give a little more scope To the score (26-8, 58 ') This fourth test of the FCG, which was then that of the bonus, goes to sleep the "Red & Blue". Massy reduced the score and returned very close to the Grenoble (26-15, then 26-22, 77 ').
The last moments are difficult, but the Grenoble ensure the essential in front of their public. They will receive Mont-de-Marsan next Friday at the Stade des Alpes for the third day of the championship.
