After a difficult start to the season with two losses to kick off the season, Stade niçois finally secures its first victory.
The Nice rugby players won 21-7 against Albi this Sunday, despite Albi’s two victories in their first two matches.
There was no cause for concern after the rocky start, but there is certainly relief after this first success.
Is the red and black season finally underway?
The Nice rugby players were solid against this direct contender for promotion to Pro D2, who missed their mark with a poor performance, receiving two yellow cards, committing many penalties sanctioned by the referee, and just as many handling errors.
Ahead at halftime thanks to the kicks of Fritz and Lavernhe (9-7), David Bolgashvili’s players then scored two tries by Slowik and Sakiusa to take off on the scoreboard (21-7).
With this victory, Stade niçois climbs back up the standings (10th, two points from the podium) and will need to confirm their performance in fifteen days on the field of Soyaux-Angoulême, who are second last with three defeats.
