Grenoble trembles but Grenoble wins. Asked to react after the slap received last week in Aurillac, the Grenoble rugby players managed to do so, in pain, by dominating Dax 19 to 13 on Thursday at the start of the 4th day of Pro D2.
But FCG trembled for a long time in this match that started badly with a first try scored by Dax and his winger Oltmann, quite happy to be on the recovery of a drop goal returned by the post. A lot of realism for the Landais, who also bothered the Grenoblois on the ground game.
Dynamic and decisive replacements
Trailing 13-5 at half-time, and still with the same score in the 57th minute, Grenoble was caught up in a tricky match, not very successful, but the Red and Blues had the merit of winning it thanks in particular to the contribution of the bench, dynamic and decisive like hooker Bastien Soury, Romain Fusier or Max Clement, called to replace Sam Davies who came off shaken by a big tackle from Nacika. After a try from Wilfried Hulleu (62nd minute), it was the young fly-half who was responsible for scoring and giving Grenoble the victory on two penalties. The last one even deprived the Dacquois of the defensive bonus.
With three wins and 12 points, FCG provisionally takes the lead in the Pro D2 standings, pending the other matches of this 4th day scheduled for this Friday.
