This time the FCG did not trip over the carpet for its first of the season. Unlike its last three seasons, Grenoble starts with a victory, 19 to 15 against Béziers.
19 points signed Romain Trouilloud
Still marked by a difficult last season when they had lost 7 times at home, the Rouge et Bleu got the job done, even if it was the Biterrois who scored the first try of the match in the 8th minute. Grenoble does not panic and will take the lead thanks to Romain Trouilloud. Seriously injured in the ligaments at the start of last season, the center trained at the club spent almost the entire last exercise to heal, and he starts this one in the best way, with this try therefore in the 16th, but also a transformation , and three past penalties in the first half. Opposite Romain Uruty did not have the same success and the FCG took the lead at the break 16 to 5.
The second half will be more choppy, Romain Trouilloud will pass one more penalty, and Béziers will go at the end of the match to seek a penalty try synonymous with a defensive bonus, but Grenoble does not tremble to offer itself a first victory. A first good working base before going to challenge Agen next Friday (9 p.m.).
