Defeated in Dijon last Sunday, Stade Niçois will seek to redeem themselves by hosting Massy at Arboras this Sunday, a team that has long secured its leadership.
Since a defeat for the team from the French Riviera could reignite Dax’s hopes—who are hosting Tarbes—in the race for the last qualifying spot, and as the motivations are not the same, there’s nothing preventing them from being made the favorites in this confrontation.
Certainly, it is known that the Nice team has shown an inability to string together good results, but, up until now, they have demonstrated they can respond well when challenged against the major teams.
Announced lineup: 15 Le Gal, 14 Bureitakyica, 13 Delage, 12 Fritz, 11 Slowik, 10 Verdi, 9 Besssegut, 7 Tachat, 8 Koroi, 6 Buleinaivalu, 5 Rey, Calas, 3 Neparidze, 2 Martin, 1 Lemaire
