Two days before the end of the championship, there are ten points left to distribute. From 4th, Grenoble, to 9th, Colomiers, there are six clubs that can still hope to qualify for the final phase.
It must be admitted, this Pro D2 vintage 2023-2024 is fascinating from start to finish and from top to bottom of the ranking, whether for the race for qualification or for maintenance, nothing is definitively decided. two days to go.
Concerning the case of Colomiers which interests us, even if few of them still believe in a qualification, mathematically, there remains a chance, tiny, we concede, but it exists. For Julien Sarraute’s troops who go to Grenoble before hosting Valence-Romans at the end of the season, the process is simple: make a solid success, offensive bonus included and cross your fingers that the results of the other competitors are the qualification fits together well. Behind the trio of Vannes, Provence and Béziers, there are six who claim to be invited to the final stages. Update on their respective situations.
> FC GRENOBLE (4th with 74 points)
This is the team in form at the end of the season which remains on an ongoing series of seven consecutive successes since March 1st, with victories in Nevers and Vannes to boot! The FCG is set to be a very good outsider for the title.
– Receives Colomiers and goes to Provence.
> US DAX (5th with 73 points)
The promoted Dacquois achieved a remarkable second part of the championship and the latest success in the Landes derby propels Jeff Dubois’ troops to the threshold of qualification. Given their current dynamic, it is difficult to see the Agenais in distress hindering their progress.
– Receives Agen and goes to Nevers.
> STADE MONTOIS (6th with 69 points)
Well placed for a long time, the Montois have been blowing hot and cold since their defeat in Colomiers on March 8. The defeat in the Landes derby only confirmed the trend. Qualification will involve victories against the poorly ranked, which will not necessarily be easy.
– Goes to Montauban and receives Rouen.
> USO NEVERS (7th with 69 points)
Two successes in the last seven days, a final failure at home against Soyaux which is very painful, Nevers lost its splendor in the spring to the point of seeing its qualification very compromised. The Neversois are slowing down and the final sprint forces them to win everything. Not easy.
– Go to Béziers and receive Dax.
> CA BRIVE (8th with 67 points)
There is no great serenity in Corrèze where we have little illusion about the qualification even if a slight hope remains. Everything could depend on the next trip to Vannes, the leader…
– Goes to Vannes and receives Biarritz.
> COLOMIERS RUGBY (9th with 64 points)
Columérine’s inability to swing certain matches in the right direction during the final sprint (we think of the defeats at Nevers and Brive in particular), forces Colomiers to perform flawlessly, hoping for favorable results elsewhere. To achieve an achievement in Grenoble, all the planets will have to be aligned. Can the Columérins do it?
– Goes to Grenoble and receives Valence-Romans.
