Josh Thompson scored his first try for Grenoble in their loss to Vannes on Sunday night.

He broke away from the side of a lineout maul to crash over in the left corner in the dying minutes of their 28-18 loss.

Thompson was one of the home sides best on the night. He made several big carries, a total of 10 runs on the night. Twice he was hit high, one in a tackle and once in the ruck but soldiered on for a 70 minute performance.

He made 12 tackles defensively and led the way with tackle dominance with 3 dominant tackles to his name.

Grenoble had the lions share of possession especially in the final 10 minutes as they tried desperately to score a go-ahead try but the home side held firm even past the 80 minute mark to win 34-28.
