Nice triumphs at Bédarrides Chateauneuf following a highly competitive match, full of pace from start to finish, and relatively fair, during which the young players from Nice managed to gain the upper hand in the second half.
Nothing was decided at halftime, with a score of 5/3 in favor of the team from the French Riviera. During the 40 minutes, the players exchanged blows, with well-established defenses nullifying offensive attempts. Even if the score didn’t reflect it, the quality of play was worthy of a great match.
Right from the restart, the team from Nice scored; as fatigue set in, spaces became more numerous. Bédarrides briefly came back to level the score, denying the stadium the bonus point, but that was before Medina’s fierce try, which concluded the afternoon with a brilliantly executed counterattack.
In the end, the team coached by the Bolga-Bonnet duo emerged as the day’s big winners.
25/10, 4 tries to 1, 5 points, and this 10-point match now grants them a 25-point lead over the second-placed team.
