The Toulouse Ours (0–2) will be desperately searching for their first victory as they host the Grenoble Centaures (0–1–1) in a French D1 Elite Southern Conference matchup between two teams hungry to turn their seasons around.
Ours seeking offensive spark
Toulouse has faced a brutal opening schedule with losses to powerhouses Cannes and the Grizzlys Catalans, struggling to generate consistent offense against two of the league’s best defenses. Their defense, led by playmaker Dorian Longhini, has kept games respectable but now faces a Grenoble squad gaining confidence each week.

Centaures building momentum
Though still winless, Grenoble has shown promise since promotion to D1, nearly upsetting Aix-en-Provence in a 7–7 tie after a tough loss to the Grizzlys. The return of offensive weapons Tanner Marsh and Juwan Abraham, combined with a physical defense anchored by Elie Diaspara, gives the Centaures belief they can compete at this level.
This game represents a critical opportunity for both clubs. For Toulouse, it’s a chance to finally break through against a fellow struggler. For Grenoble, it’s an opportunity to prove they belong and secure that first franchise D1 victory. Expect a hard-fought, emotional battle as both teams leave everything on the field searching for that elusive win.
