This weekend, the curtain opens on the season… and what actresses to open the ball! Gallantry obliges, it’s the women of Division 1 who take the stage first. Four months of competition, ten fierce days, and at the end of the road: the grail.
But before that, the calendar looks hot: the Challenge de France at the end of May, two weekends of Super League, a European Cup in August for the Comanches… then the final sprint with the playoffs starting in September, until an explosive final on the first two weekends of October. In other words: no room for error.
👉 Three posters, six teams, and already some shocks not to be missed this Sunday, 22!
⚔️ Grenoble vs Saint-Raphaël: explosive entry
From the start, the Grizzlys strike hard with the reception of the formidable Comanches of Saint-Raphaël. The favorites are known, announced, expected… and maybe even a bit too much?
Grenoble, at home, could well play the troublemakers. Without flashy recruitment, certainly, but with the energy of the first match and the support of the public. And if the Comanches started in diesel mode?
🎯 Forecast: shared victories
🌊 Nice vs Pessac: the test of fire for the promoted
In Nice, it’s time for truth. After a deserved rise last season, the Niçoises dive directly into the big bath against Pessac, a solid mid-table team.
The desire on one side, the experience on the other… and maybe a slight warm-up for the visitors? Beware, trap match in sight!
🎯 Forecast: one victory each
🐆 Évry vs Colombes: clash of styles and sharp claws
This is perhaps the most intriguing duel of the day. The Wild Cats of Colombes, armed with massive recruitment, arrive with great ambitions. But in front, the Pharaonnes of Évry defend their territory with authority.
Impregnable fortress or announced takeover? The claws are out, and it promises sparks!
🎯 Forecast: one victory each
💥 The tone is set: the season is launched, and already, the rivalries are inflaming. Who will strike hard from the start? Who will have to run after the pace? Answer on the field… where everything begins.
