Thanks to their victory last weekend against the leader Massy, Stade Niçois has likely taken a decisive lead for qualification, with Dax trailing by 6 points and having played one more match. However, nothing is decided yet, and they must avoid any misstep in this final phase of the championship.
The visit from Aubenas to Arboras should allow the team from Nice to maintain their good rhythm and secure another victory, as the current form of both teams logically suggests.
However, the ball is always oval and can bounce in unexpected ways. Moreover, the team from Drôme is playing to avoid relegation, which provides sufficient motivation to come to Nice and put up a strong fight.
It will be up to Bogashivili’s men to avoid excess and assert their technical superiority to prevent a misstep that could be detrimental in this season finale.
The announced Niçois XV: 15 Le Gall; 14 Alessi, 13 Delage, 12 Fritz, 11 Slowick, 10 Verdu, 9 Besseguet, 7 Tachat, 8 Koroi, 6 Frytes, 5 Calas, 4 Mondoulet, 3 Nagaridze, 2 Martin, 1 Lemaire.
