Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s live coverage of Top 14. Grenoble play host to Stade Français at Stadium Lesdiguières in the opening round of this year’s tournament.The home side were a surprise package last season in the Top 14 when they occupied a spot in the playoff places for a large portion of the season and will, no doubt, look to repeat those feats.
