Given the score (38-23), one might think of an easy or at least comfortable victory for Nice.
It was nothing of the sort. The match was tough and contested. Stade Niçois deservedly won by dominating the last quarter of the game, with a try from Azkhasvili in the 60th minute (when the score was tied at 18-18) and Koroi in the 79th minute.
At halftime, the score was 18-15 in favor of the team from the Côte d’Azur. Then, the succession of points shows that the balance between the two teams was never broken, except at the end of the match: 18-18, 25-18 (60th minute), 28-18, 28-23 (70th minute), 31-23, 38-23.
Stade Niçois completes the hat-trick and continues its work on team building and climbing the rankings.
