Wales fly-half Sam Davies says he has received reassurance his new club Grenoble will not start next season in France's third division.
Grenoble had missed out on promotion to the Top 14 earlier this week, before being hit with the blow of being relegated from the Pro D2 to Federale 1 - France's third tier of professional rugby - due to the financial management of the club.
That decision - along with a six-point deduction to start next season - was announced on Tuesday evening after a Ligue Nationale de Rugby investigation, with the French club immediately signalling their intent to appeal the verdict.
