The FCG did the worst possible operation with a loss in Montpellier, combined with the victory of Agen
The FCG players experienced a black Saturday in their race to avoid the play-off game. Severely beaten in Montpellier (40-12), the Isèrois also saw Agen, their predecessor in the ranking, win at home against the LOU. The "Rouge & Bleu" are now 6 points behind the Lot-et-Garonne team, before their duel next weekend at the Stade des Alpes.
However, the Isèrois had started the game well by taking advantage of the wind to score 4 penalties. But the Montpellierians, in power, were able to come back to the score thanks to two tries (12-12 at the break)
The start of the second half was catastrophic, with 4 tries in about ten minutes.... (40-12, 58'). The rest of the game was a long ordeal for the "Rouge Bleu". Delhommel will score a seventh and final try for Montpellier (47-12, 70')
If it has lost a battle, the FCG can still save itself directly and avoid the play-off game. But it will also need a loss of Agen in its last two home games....
