After Blagnac and Albi… will there be a third time for the Stade Niçois?
The match against Soyaux-Angoulême is a turning point of the season: winning means standing out and finally showing their ambitions; losing means falling back into the group of contenders for the sixth qualifying spot.
Facing them will be a team on the rise, having just defeated the giant Massy after 13 consecutive victories.
This means they will need an extraordinary performance to take four points against an opponent, second in the standings, who can play without the strict necessity of a positive result, thus making them even more dangerous.
The Niçois, who lost their scrum-half Paul Champin for the season during the week, will have to field more or less the same team that defeated Albi last Sunday.
The announced XV: 15 Slowik, 14 Bureitakiyaca, 13 Torfs, 12 Fritz, 11 Gougeon, 10 Verdu, 9 Besseguet, 7 Tachat, 8 Boleinavalu, 6 Suaud, 5 Rey, 4 Astier, 3 Negrotto, 2 Haupt, 1 Lemaire
