Avignon was not just an episode… The story continues, and one defeat leads to another; unfortunately, the team from Nice confirmed the rule.
Defeated, or better put, overwhelmed by the Rennais who dominated the match in three straight sets with the consistent score of 25-21. As a result, Rennes enters the top 8, which means play-offs, closing to within two small points of their opponents that evening.
A match to quickly forget because even though the play-offs are practically guaranteed for Nice, their position in the standings is not neutral either: it will determine their challenges in the quarter-finals. It’s better to avoid Poitiers and Maxéville Nancy, who are leading the standings.
In short, Nice is therefore called to react, and as soon as next week against the bottom-ranked Calais, if they want to continue playing their chances in the promotion to Ligue A.
