Grenoble is recovering. This Friday evening, as part of the 18th day of Pro D2, the Grenoblois dominated Biarritz (33-17). Everything started quickly in this meeting, with the first try for the locals scored in the 3rd minute of play, through the three-quarter wing Kaminieli Rasaku, then transformed by the opening half Sam Davies (7-0) . The Biarrots reacted, with a penalty from flyhalf Thomas Dolhagaray (9th, 7-3). Rasaku then scored a double, transformed by Davies (20th, 12-3). The second row Ryno Pieterse participated in the party (31st, 19-3), before the three-quarter wing Wilfried Hulleu, thanks to a try converted by Davies (37th, 26-3). Returning from the locker room, Rasaku scored his hat-trick, transformed by Davies (53rd, 33-3). Just after, Biarritz scored its very first try of the match, through its wing three-quarter Zach Kibirige, who started from the halfway line, before slaloming through the defense to flatten. A try transformed by the opening half Edgar Retière (55th, 33-10).
Bad operations for Béziers and Provence Rugby
Kibirige then scored a double, transformed by Retière (72nd, 33-17). The score then did not change until the siren. Biarritz, twelfth, could obviously hardly hope for better, due to its indiscipline, marked by three yellow cards and one red received. Thanks to this victory, the thirteenth of its season, Grenoble is doing very well in the Pro D2 ranking. The Isérois consolidate their leadership position, now with a total of ten points ahead of their runner-up, Béziers. In the other evening results, Béziers, second, fell again, on home ground, against Colomiers (17-29), sixth. Same price for Provence Rugby, third, which lost on the Aurillac field (26-17), thirteenth. For its part, Soyaux Angoulême, fourth, clearly beat Dax (46-23), seventh. Montauban, eighth, won at Mont-de-Marsan (21-33), fourteenth. Nevers, tenth, narrowly got the better of Agen (29-28), eleventh. Finally, in the duel of poorly classified, Valence-Romans, fifteenth, largely dominated Nice (57-34), sixteenth and last.
