Grenoble triumphs over Nevers in epic Pro D2 showdown, rekindling Top 6 aspirations

What a coup from Grenoble to Nevers! The Grenoblois won at the end of the suspense against Nevers and put themselves back in the race for the Top 6 in Pro D2. After dominating the first half, Grenoble returned to the locker room with a slight lead (7-13).

But the locals regained their rugby in the second half, scoring two tries in less than seven minutes (53rd and 60th) through Elia and Loaloa. Trailing 19-13, the Grenoblois showed themselves to be courageous and took advantage of the mistakes of the Nivernais. Davies scored three penalties (65th, 68th, and 77th) to give his team the advantage.

Nevers then fought to get the winning try, but a final forward five meters from the Grenoble line condemned the Nivernais hopes, defeated for the first time at home since May 2023.
