Two weeks after the victory against Bourg-en-Bresse (31-22), the Nice team is back on the field with an away game to Dax this Sunday.
Following their solid, and probably their best home performance of the season against Bourg-en-Bresse, Stade Niçois is heading to the field of Dax, who are 6th in the league.
Before this matchup, let’s take a quick look at the next opponent of David Bolgashvili’s men. The Dacquois remain 10 points away from the 4th qualifying spot for the semi-finals, temporarily held by Albi. Like Nice, the team from Landes has a game in hand (13 games played).
With six losses on the record, the Dacquois led by Jack Isaac will host the team from Nice with only two home defeats out of seven matches against Blagnac (12-17) and Albi (21-22). Conversely, five other teams left Landes with a defeat: Bourgoin (12-9), Narbonne (19-13), Dijon (17-6), Tarbes (23-21), and Chambéry (25-10). US Dax has built its success on an aggressive defense with a solid and mobile pack but also skillful backs and a good kicker.
The goal for Stade Niçois is to bring back a victory from this away game to strengthen their first place in the league. To achieve this, they need to stay disciplined, not underestimate the formidable Dacquois, and demonstrate solidarity—an element that has been the strength of this group since the beginning of the season.
The match will be broadcast live on the TV channel France 3 Côte d’Azur starting at 1:10 PM.
