It is hard to believe that La Rochelle sport can be touched by grace. Sunday, May 29, afternoon, less that two hours before the parade on the quays for the European rugby champions was to take place, the Stade Rochelais Basket won against Caen (74-72) in its support match of half-play-off finals. This qualification will likely open the door to Pro B.
