The snub came very close for Montpellier. Trailing until the 77th minute during this promotion match, the MHR obtained its retention in the Top 14 thanks to a penalty from Louis Carbonel scored in the final minutes against Grenoble (20-18), Sunday June 16, at the stadium Alpes. For the Isérois, the 2023 scenario repeats itself, a week after their defeat in the Pro D2 final against Vannes. They will still play in the second division next year, while the Montpellier residents can take a breather.
