Matches follow one another, but not all are the same. This is the case for the one that will be held this afternoon at the Arboras stadium (at 5 p.m.) between Stade Niçois and Chambéry.
There are several reasons for this, the first and most important being to finally understand the true value of this Nice team on a rollercoaster journey.
What better than a solid team like Chambéry for a conclusive test?
Sixth in the rankings, the last useful spot for playoff qualification, the Niçois cannot afford to slip up if they want to avoid complicating their situation and putting at risk what is regarded as the bare minimum goal.
Chambéry, who precedes them in the rankings, is a tough opponent, and the Bogashvili players will need to dig deep to succeed.
The last two performances, a narrow victory (26-23) against Dijon and a loss (6-22) to Dax, do not inspire confidence in this direction.
However, as the proverb says, after the rain comes the sunshine. At Arboras, they must hold onto this saying to maintain good spirits.
The announced XV: 15 Delives, 14 Bureitakiyaca, 12 Mosses, 12 Labau, 11 Gugeon, 10 Ricquebourg, 9 Verde, 7 Tachat, 8 Freytes, 6 Mace, 5 Koroi, 4 Rey, 3 Shatirishvili, 2 Haupt, 1 Lemaire. 16 Martin, 17 Vola, 18 Suaud, 19 Astier, 20 Champin, 21 Le Gal, 22 Delage, 23 Negrotto.
