Good afternoon and welcome to this French top14 clash from the Stade Andre Moga where hosts Bordeaux Belges take on visiting Grenoble. This has the makings of an exciting contest with lots to play for as Grenoble currently sit just 2 points above today's opponents in 5th and both sides will be keen to push for end of season play-off places. Grenoble enjoyed a comprehensive 33-19 home win against Oyonnax last time out while Bordeuax, although beaten, will take heart from a narrow 12-9 loss away to Racing Metro.
