The day after Provence’s defeat in Nevers, Vannes and Béziers also bit the dust, this Friday during the same 23rd day of Pro D2, respectively in Grenoble (17-10) and Dax (57-20). The two teams therefore continue to share first place, with one point ahead of the Provençaux.
A 23rd day of Pro D2 to forget for the leading teams. Twenty-four hours after Provence Rugby, third in the standings, suffered its seventh defeat of the season and its second in its last three matches on the Nevers pitch in an advanced match, Vannes and Béziers, the two co-leaders before this day , had the possibility of once again distancing themselves from their rival. But it was said that this 23rd day would not smile on the title contenders.
Thus, just like Provence on Thursday, Vannes and Béziers lost on Friday evening. Already surprised during the last day on the lawn of Biarritz (12-10), the Vannes residents, who nevertheless retain first place for the benefit of the number of tries scored, had the cup again, this time at home on their lawn of a packed La Rabine stadium against Grenoble (17-10).
Béziers corrected in Dax!
Thanks to a try from Kalamafoni shortly after the quarter of an hour of play, the Bretons had taken the lead for a while, but that did not last very long, and two tries, the only two from Isère in this match , signed Eglaine and Blanc-Mappaz, allowed FCG to overthrow the leader and achieve a second victory in a row. Grenoble at the same time regains hope for qualification. Provence beaten, Vannes too, Béziers could carry out a very good operation by unblocking its two rivals in the event of success on the lawn of Dax.
Unfortunately for the Biterrois, it seems impossible to win on the Dacquoise pitch for a while, even more so when the Rouge et Blanc are euphoric. Hugo Cerisier and his teammates confirmed it on Friday by pulverizing the second in the standings, certainly reduced to fourteen at the half-hour mark, in front of their audience (57-20). Never worried, the sixth in the ranking piled up the tries (eight in total), including two for Jean-Baptiste Barrère alone, one of the heroes of this dacquois card who came to mark this weekend to be forgotten for the best.
