Facing Nice on Sunday, April 10, during the 14th day of the delayed Nationale, Valence-Romans Drôme Rugby secured their 23rd victory of the season (30-15).
The Damiers, who scored four tries (Hayes, Menzel, Bouldoire, Wierenga), have taken second place, now ahead of their competitors Albi and Soyaux-Angoulême.
Long within striking distance, Nice crumbled at the very end of the match. Against a motivated team, they never led in the score. Moreover, when you concede two tries from interceptions, it’s difficult to come back!
Despite this setback, Bogashvili’s players retain the 6th qualifying place, and they haven’t had their last say in the race for 5th, which pits them against Chambéry.
