Grenoble, finalist of the Pro D2, will have a second chance on Saturday (9:05 p.m.) to reach the Top 14 on the occasion of a barrage in front of its public against Perpignan, already successfully overcome this pitfall last year to maintain in the elite.
Grenoble coach Fabien Gengenbacher, after losing the Pro D2 final against Oyonnax (14-3) last weekend in Toulouse, immediately asked his dressing room a question.
“What do you want us to do together with our match next week? From this opportunity to climb into the Top 14, in a full stadium, in front of our supporters, our families, our partners..."
“I got the answer I was waiting for,” he appreciated while the Oyonnaxian celebrations still echoed in the corridors of Ernest-Wallon.
The FCG, which has been evolving since 2019 in the antechamber of the elite, did not yet know the identity of its opponent for the play-off, but the balance leaned very strongly on the side of Usap.
Beaten in Castres the next day (26-16) with a revamped team, the Catalan club could not leave Pau the penultimate place of the Top 14, but they had been expecting it for some time now.
"We've been preparing for this access match for a while," confirmed Perpignan scrum-half Tom Ecochard after the defeat in the Tarn. "It's up to us to show that we deserve to stay in the Top 14".
Perpignan had already had to go through a barrage last year to save its place. What he had done without trembling at Mont-de-Marsan (41-16), thanks in particular to a great Melvyn Jaminet for his last in the blood and gold jersey before joining Toulouse.
“The team has already played a game like this. She knows what it is, we've been talking about it for a long time, ”said the young Usap hooker Victor Montgaillard, still suspicious. "We know it will be tough against a team that is on a good dynamic."
Grenoble has lost only two matches this season in its stadium in the Alps, which will be sold out (19,500 people) for this confrontation between two rather playful teams.
The statistics rather plead in its favor: since the introduction of the dam in 2018, the Pro D2 club has won it three times for a single victory for the representative of the Top 14. Perpignan last year.
