The Crabos from Grenoble will play Saturday at the Stade de France the final of the championship against Castres. After the victories won against Colomiers (21-7), then Toulon (32-0), the "Red & Blue" will be opposed to Tarn, who won their ticket to the final beating Bayonne (16-13) and Bordeaux (22-19).
On the Grenoblois side, Yann Rave, manager of the Crabos, sees this final as the result of two years of work: "It is the culmination of a great year of work. I would say almost two. It's been two years since we had this group of Crabos with Lionel Ringeval and Jean-Noël Perrin. We must not forget last season, which was complicated, which was a real failure. And suddenly, we really used it to work better this year. And we are reaping the fruits of these two years of work. "
The group Crabos left Grenoble this Friday morning. The players and the staff will discover the Stade de France when they arrive in the Paris region, before joining their hotel. The match is scheduled to start at 5:30 pm on Saturday. We will forward you this meeting on our Twitter account.
