With Farnoux and Rusier, not Muarua
The last mini-hole of the season, between the 6th and 7th championship blocks, allowed the Grenoble workforce to find forces. Thus, after two months without match, the Roman Center Fusier (knee) and the rear Julien Farnoux (ischio-legs) should make their return, Friday in Brive (9 p.m.). On the other hand, it is still too fair for Pio Muarua (calf) and Thomas Ployet (knee), which must at least wait until Nevers (May 16).
A referee at the bedside of FCG
As he had already done twice this season, in October with Benoît Rousselet and in March with Evan Urruzmendi, the FCG brought a referee to his bedside. Jonathan Gasnier (PACA League) spent the day last Friday in Lesdiguières, in particular to dissect the latest Red and Blue Meetings and make the work of pedagogy on the rules, or their interpretation by the current arbitral body. A day (very) necessary, before the crucial end of the season meetings.
Big without success with the blue
Émeline Gros participated last weekend in the final of the SVNS 2025 (World Rugby Circuit in VII) in Los Angeles with the French team. While the Bleues had finished 2nd in the 2024 final, they failed this time in the 8th and last place, with three defeats in pool (United States 5-21, Fiji 22-26 and Australia 17-33) then in the classification match (Japan 17-29). A collective disappointment, but undoubtedly a great personal experience for the Mauriennaise des Amazons.
young people: Cap on the quarters
After defeating their counterparts from the Stade Français last Saturday, respectively (20-13) and (52-10, BO), the Juniors Crabos and the Alamercery cadets will complete their 2nd championship phase on May 17. In Oyonnax for the juniors and Beaune (ABCD XV) for the cadets. Already assured of the 1st place and their qualification in the final stages, the young Grenoblois will then know their respective opponents in the quarterfinals.
