This happened. Barely but the essential has been preserved. The Columérins managed to win against Grenoble yesterday, after a lackluster match that never settled between two teams that were heavily penalized (13 times in Colomiers, 11 times in Grenoble), sign of a tense match that has never managed to get carried away. Yesterday evening, in the cold of a late autumn night, we quickly understood that we should not hope for the surges of spring. Between Columérins and Grenoblois, we were treated to a solid face-to-face, a match “reserved” for big guys. A dense, rough confrontation, punctuated by the charges close to each other against defenders on the lookout, or the game at the foot of pressure on both sides and the scrums which began by turning well for the Columérins .
Quickly penalized four times in this sector, which Girard took advantage of to install the Columérins in the lead (6-0), the Grenoblois changed their right-hander after… 25 minutes! Tortured and blamed, poor Alves had to resolve to give way to Kaikatsishvili. Immediate effect, the columérine melee is sanctioned as soon as the Georgian enters (6-3, 26th).
But apart from that, nothing to cheer up on except approximations, forwards, mistakes on the ground. in this little game, the Columérins are doing better, a new penalty from Girard giving them a small lead at the break (9-3) while the Grenoblois receive in addition to a yellow card when returning to the locker room.
Without consequence for the Isérois especially as the Columérins in turn began to multiply the faults, allowing the Grenoblois to always believe in them. In this grayness, there was indeed the lightning born of a movement off the Columérins (46th), initiated by the forwards in the wake of the phenomenal Coletta, followed by a reversal with three-quarters which sees Vici, then he is thrown into touch, pass his ball spectacularly to Girard for the test. But after video the pass will be judged forward … Too bad because the Grenoblois remain in the game and Selponi does not hesitate to transform all the opportunities available to him. Fortunately for Colomiers, Thomas Girard does the same.
Masilevu’s blunder
But a great thrill will run through the Colomiers camp when on a ball gleaned after a counter-ruck by the Grenoblois, Masilevu will finish behind the line, forgetting in passing to serve on his left Blanc-Mappaz, totally alone to score (74th ). Fatal error of the Fijian since his try will be refused, the video not clearly showing that he had managed to flatten between two defenders. The blow did not go far. Colomiers was very hot despite the cold.
