Grenoble vs Provence Rugby was the poster for the second day of Pro d2. Many were waiting for the reunion of the main musicians of one of the semi-finals of the competition. And again the two teams got hit for hit and, in the end, it was Grenoble who won again by three points this time, 15-12!

« Don’t talk to me about Grenoble, only crazy people, only sportsmen… » After watching the match on TV​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​from, Friday afternoon, the first words of Fernand Raynaud’s sketch came back to mind.

Don’t talk to me about Grenoble and its rugby posts that twice saw Thomas Salles’ penalties hit them…

Don’t tell me about Grenoble and the two Provencal tests that were rejected with video support, one of which could be open for debate.

Don’t talk to me about Grenoble for the two yellow cards given to the blacks playing in grey-blue that night.

Tell me about Grenoble for the defensive presence of Aix, for the stability and fighting spirit of Black, for the progress that seemed to us as a result of a formation gaining strength compared to the opening game, despite some defects that will be there. to check in, and, finally, for the (good) point brought back from Isère which, as a result of the game, was the least that the Aixois could claim…

The Montauban performance, next Friday at Maurice-David (7:30 p.m.) can now be seen; an important meeting against an opponent who is also in the standings with a total of 5 points. Second game sold out?
