The beginning of the match is to the advantage of the locals. Facing the wind, the Biarrots settle in the Grenoble camp after a penalty conceded by Lolagi Visinia, action on which the back of the FCG will receive a yellow card. After several attempts, Biarritz will finally score the first try (7-0, 10 ').
In numerical inferiority, the "Rouge & Bleu" put the march forward and finally return quickly to the score by Lucas Dupont, after a great inspiration of Francois Uys (7-7, 22 ')
The match then equilibrates, but it is Biarritz who puts the last cartridge with a penalty after the siren (10-7, 40 ')
The start of the second half is complicated for the FCG. The "Rouge & Bleu" commit too many fouls: Pierre Bernard succeeds two penalties, then the referee gives a penalty try to the Basques (23-7, 57 ').
Reduced to 14 after the penalty test, the Grenoblois are still trying to revive, but it is Biarritz who sticks a new test after a ball recovered in a ruck (30-7, 66 ').
The Grenoblois will wait the last 10 minutes to finally return to the opposite camp, but it will not help. It is finally Biarritz, in the continuity of this opportunity missed by the FCG, which will mark his fourth and final test of the match, the test of the bonus for the Basques (37-7, 75 ').
On a final burst of pride, the Grenoblois will score a second try, by Dylan Jacquot. Thus depriving Biarritz of his bonus (37-14, 80 '). A small consolation.
With this new defeat away, the Grenoblois remain glued to the fourth place in the standings and see their evening opponents return to 2 points in the standings. The "Rouge & Bleu" will have strong to do next Thursday, with the reception of Perpignan at the Stade des Alpes.
