Rugby: Stade Niçois has a lot at stake in Montelimar

The people of Nice are traveling to Montelimar to face an opponent who had defeated them at home in the first leg.

Their ranking demands a resurgence if they want to clinch qualification. Including today’s match, they have no fewer than three matches awaiting them, with two home games against teams that are better ranked than they are.

This illustrates how delicate the situation is, and missteps are not allowed.

Poorly placed, Montelimar is a team that can be beaten on paper. This prediction will need to be confirmed on the field as well.
