If FC Grenoble was at the top of Pro D2, even before its trip to Provence Rugby this Friday evening, behind, the battle rages on. And Béziers is asserting itself as a contender for the rise. The Biterrois won with authority on the pitch of Soyaux-Angoulême (13-32). An improved success achieved at the end of the match with three tries in the last quarter of an hour signed by Branden Holder (66th and 78th) and Pierre Courtaud (71st). A victory synonymous with second place. Especially since at the same time, Brive was derailed at home against Nevers. The Brivists thought they had avoided the worst thanks to Curwin Bosch (22-20, 77th). But finally, in stoppage time, Shaun Reynolds gave his team the victory (22-23).
