Le duo Cassang – Callendret
In such an unprolific and thrilling match, the two Oyonnaxian test markers stand out insofar as they were the major architects of the result. The scrum half, former Clermontois guided his team all game and all season behind a very powerful pack. It was he who launched his team to victory with the first points (35th), very important a few minutes from the break. His friend on the wing delivered all his people with a corner try at the siren, the 9th of his season, to seal the victory of the Ain club.

The iron defense of Oyonnax
Only 3 points conceded this evening by Oyonnax, that is to say the incredible defensive performance of which they were capable. Beyond the points conceded, the defense seemed impassable as Grenoble tried to pierce it in vain. We keep in mind the last action of the first period where the Isérois pushed, playing a penalty by hand 5 meters from the goal. Without succeeding in bending a group which decidedly wanted to remain united and sovereign until the end.

The Grenoble melee
Penalized 5 times during the whole game, the Iséroise melee did not exist. Giving the impression that we could have witnessed a dozen additional scrums without the trend being able to be reversed. Thomas Laclayat and his people made their vis-à-vis bend without question. The right pillar called up in the list of 42 players of the Six Nations Tournament left a great last performance behind him by outrageously dominating Luka Goginava then Zack Gauthier. All this before joining Racing 92.

Very clumsy soulan
The opening half of Oyonnax must be damn relieved at the end of a match that he did not master. For good reason, he missed each of the three penalties attempted this Saturday evening. First at the start of the game to launch his team, then in the second period when his team needed to breathe and be positive with points added to the scoreboard. He who was shooting at 80% success this season in Pro D2 did not penalize his group after the fact. There is no doubt that the taste would have been much more bitter if his missed points had allowed Grenoble to win.
