The Nice team missed the opportunity in the decisive match for qualification, losing in Besançon (26-29).
They remain dependent on the results of other teams, and more specifically, the outcome of the match between Toulon and Nantes in the next round.
Fortunately, the team from the Atlantic also lost at home against Metz (22-24), but they still have a wildcard.
If the team from Nantes wins, they will take the 6th and last qualifying place.
The disappointment of the Nice team would be enormous, and their season would be a failure given their ambitions and recruitment.
