After 4 undefeated games, Grenoble lost in Colomiers (23-16)
After the defeat of Biarritz Thursday night, the Grenoblois had the opportunity to widen the gap with the chasing pack by going to Colomiers, which remained on 4 consecutive defeats.
The match starts well for the "Red & Blue" who score the first points of the match (0-3, 4 '). Colomiers will register, him, the first try of the game by finding the fault in the center of the line of defense Grenoble (7-3, 16 '). If David Mélé quickly reduced the score (7-6, 17 '), they see Colomiers widen the gap on two penalties conceded by Isèrois (13-6, 35')
The Grenoblois start better in the second half and quickly reduce the score (13-9, 44 '). But, every time Grenoble scores, Colomiers responds tac-tac-tac (16-9, 46 '). The "Red & Blue" will have, despite everything, several opportunities to return to the score, but empty passage, ball kept on the ground or in front annihilate the opportunities Grenoble.
At the hour of play, the Columérins get a scrum at 5. The local fronts will put to the torture their vis-à-vis: they get several penalties, the exclusion of Ali Oz, then a penalty try (23- 9, 62 ').
Too clumsy, the Grenoblois take about ten minutes to become dangerous again. After a touch of 5, Dylan Hayes scored, in power, the first Grenoble try (23-16, 74 ').
FCG players will no longer be dangerous and concede to Colomiers, his ninth defeat of the season and, especially, the opportunity to dig a gap with his pursuers.
The FCG will move again next week, with a big challenge to overcome in Mont-de-Marsan, undefeated at home this season.
