The regular phase of the 2022-2023 Pro D2 season ended this Friday with a single multiplex on this 30th day. Now for the final phase.
Grenoble accompanies Oyonnax in the semi-finals. The Isère club got rid of Vannes (27-24) and finished in second place in the standings, one point ahead of Mont-de-Marsan. The Stade Montois will welcome Agen, sixth and last play-off, on Friday May 12. Before that, Nevers (4th) will receive Vannes (5th). The winner of this match will go to Oyonnax on Saturday 20 May. The next day, Grenoble will challenge the winner of USM-SUA.
The Pro D2 final will be played on May 27. The winner will qualify for the Top 14 while the unfortunate runner-up will receive 13th in the Top 14 for a place in the top flight on June 3. All these matches will be broadcast on the channels of the Canal group.
At the bottom of the ranking, Carcassonne, despite its improved victory against Provence Rugby (34-14), will accompany the red lantern Massy in National, while Soyaux-Angoulème saved itself in extremis with the defensive bonus point in Oyonnax.
