Second now just one point behind Béziers. Despite the absence of about ten players, Nice demonstrated the quality and depth of its squad, where the young flanker Julien Orméa, 19 years old and trained at the club, proved his worth.
The only downside is the injury to number eight Gregory Herrera (rib fracture) which will keep him off the field for 3 to 5 weeks. He joins an already quite full infirmary while Nice must already prepare for their trip to Chateaurenard next Sunday for a match that promises to be very difficult.
Nice could, however, count on the returns of Derrstroff in the second row, MacKie at hooker, and Mezencev in the back row.
